Rhino on bsd-port/osx-port OpenJDK 7

[Mark Derricutt]

Dalibor,

I was one of people asking Henri about the lack, the problem I was facing is
that upstream rhino doesn't include the javax.scripting extensions for
rhino.

I had heard somewhere that Mozilla didn't accept Suns changes into their
mainline branch for reasons unknown but that was prior to being opensourced.

Henri - I did just remember about http://scripting.dev.java.net from a few
years ago that I think was maintaining a large set of javax.scripting
bridges, possibly even rhino so I'll take a look at that when I fully wake
up in a few hours.

It would be a shame if this wasnt available longterm, I remember for a while
the Apple jdk also didn't include rhino and broke our code.
