Thanks!  Its been fun busting away on this, but I'm a little knackered and
I'm going to take a 3-day weekend and then hit it hard again.

I've plugged Smee into one of our products here at work and early feedback
has been very positive.  When it comes to the extension language, the
documentation simply describes the host objects (there is only one in
addition to the in-built ECMAScript objects) and says that it is standard
ECMAScript/JavaScript.  I gave a preview copy to a consultant in France and
he came back with a completed application with no questions asked.  Previous
experience with a Smalltalk based extension language and lots of
documentation explaining it was very different.  A curious side-effect has
been a tendency to want to solve every problem by allowing configuration
options to be scripts.  We are trying to find a way to strike a balance
here.
