nsIScriptContext hasn't yet been on our list of interfaces to bless for
public consumption, especially since it may change drastically as part
of the current DOM idlc glue -> XPConnect transition. If sticking to the
public set of interfaces is not an issue, you can do the following:
QI a nsIDOMWindow to nsIScriptGlobalOject
obtain an nsIScriptContext by using the
nsIScriptGlobalObject::GetContext() accessor
use nsIScriptContext::EvaluateString to evaluate your script
Be warned that these interfaces may change in the near future.
