--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overview

SpiderMonkey is the historic implementation of Javascript from
Netscape, now part of the Mozilla project. For more information:

    http://www.mozilla.org/js/spidermonkey/


SpiderCaml is a library to use SpiderMonkey from OCaml. In other
words, it allows OCaml developpers to embed a Javascript interpreter
in their applications.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Compilation 

SpiderCaml depends on an already installed SpiderMonkey. Debian
users can use the libsmjs-dev package. Otherwise, you may need to
modify the library name and location in Makefile.conf.

  make all
  make opt
  make install (requires findlib)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Documentation

  make htdoc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Examples

In the samples/ subdirectory. Currently, there is only a very simple
Javascript shell. The Makefile requires the library to be findlib-installed.
