So basically, you want to add a finalizer for JS component? Note that we already have a weak (post-mortem) finalization module for JS, hidden somewhere in mozilla-central. It's not meant to be used for performance critical code, and it provides no guarantees about cycles, but if this is necessary, I could rework it in something a bit faster/more robust.
