Hmmm, I'm tending towards Alex's side here because fgjs isn't actually
functional yet.

It would be a shame to shut out plib-1.2.0 people because of one
function used in a newly added program that isn't completely
functional yet.

I think what I will do for this release is to just not build/include
fgjs by default and instead defer that to the next release when we'll
have time to iron out some of it's various issues.  I have no doubt
that our next release *will* require plib-1.4.x

Curt.
