I think you can install any addons you want following the steps and using
the tools in my last posting of the jt.ijs script.

The steps are many, a bit tedious, and it is easy to make mistakes. But at
the end of the day you have the addon installed.

If there are problems, I would like to hear about them.

Eventually we could build jattach.html script files for the more popular
addons and put them at the Jsoftware. These could be displayed in the hview
and the steps to install the addon would be much simpler and could with a
bit of work be automated to pretty much mimic JAL.

If there is a lot of demand for this, some community effort would pay
rewards.
