Thank you. It came up as the top match when I searched for "linux
JavaScript interpreter". Perhaps I was unrealistic to expect to find
something as simple as being able to do "cat script.js | js" like I
can "cat script.pl | perl -wc". After all, Python doesn't have one
either -- you have to do "python -c 'import foo'".

I still think it would make sense to provide a README, INSTALL, or
other file that gave you something useful you can do from top to
bottom. If it said at the top of the README that the audience was Java
developers, I would quietly delete the file and look for the next
thing.
