Hi Ian.

That was how I was going to approach it; try to ensure in as much as is
possible to maintain the same API.

It is a while since I did any heavy-lifting with Javascript (these days
I mostly do kernel hacking but I've a long history with Java and C++).

I'll put it on my To-Do list and get back to the -dev list once I'm
thinking about it and I've got my head around the XPCOM spaghetti.
