bootstrap, configure, make, and install all worked.
CouchDB starts, and the test suite passes (except for the intentional
conflict).

Hey all,
we've been working on a branch that would remove the SpiderMonkey
sources from the CouchDB repository, so that we could instead treat
SpiderMonkey as a normal external library dependency.
See <http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.dev.tech.js-engine/
browse_thread/thread/e3dd995b4a6fbed9/1c9b1653cfe91c2b> for some
background.
So what we've done on the "couchjs" branch is to add a simple C
wrapper around the SpiderMonkey lib (src/CouchDB/couch_js.c) that
implements only those parts of the JS shell that we actually need
for the view server, with the minor modifications we need. And of
course the build system was adjusted so that SpiderMonkey is
detected as an external dependency.
The branch has now come so far along that it "worksforme", so I'd
like to ask anyone who's interested to check out the branch, do the
build and run some tests, and report back problems (or, hopefully
at least in some cases, the absence of problems ;).
Thanks,
