That would certainly be the best option long-term.  I didn't want to put
any burden on the maintainers of CS, though.  The version of
SpiderMonkey that AWS2 uses actually comes out of CS because Brendan
hasn't posted the 1.6 package to the website yet.

One possible note of frustration: there's no config file for mingw or
cygwin builds for SpiderMonkey.  The MSVC versions apparently work fine
for MSVC, but you would need to write and maybe submit Makefiles for the
/config directory for those platforms, or else have your own Makefiles
for when you do a cs-win32libs build.  I would volunteer to do that, but
I hate Make and I don't really understand Makefiles.  

In any case, this would certainly allow tighter integration with AWS2
for those apps who chose to include the API in their projects.  The
simple notification object that is shared with clients at this point is
somewhat limited in comparison to native integration.
