These are there for people to specify extra search paths when the library is
not installed in the system wide search paths.
> This isn't common at all.
I assume you mean uncommon, and I'm not sure which you're referring to. The
priority of handling extra paths?
If so, then I would disagree a bit in regards to include and link search paths.
The compiler already has a default set of paths that it searches and we're
trying to work around that to a certain extent. It doesn't help that
SpiderMonkey makes this harder than it has to be, but at a certain point that's
what we get for using a language that was designed to be used in a browser.

This is a fairly large change and a lot of it seems unnecessary. There are
definitely things we should include. For instance, I like that you reordered
the pkg-config check after the command line args checks. But the whole
use_js170 flag stuff seems extremely brittle and adds a fair amount of
complexity. Unless I'm mistaken we should be able to fix the bug by just
reordering the tests so we find defualt = 17.0; check for 1.8.0 -> 1.8.5 ->
too_new_version

Sure it can and if it can't then it just means that we've done it wrong. There
are two issues here:
1. "Accidentally" picking up a system wide SpiderMonkey
2. Checking for JS_ANON_FUNFIX in 1.7.0 which is a bug.
Item #2 should be simple enough to fix by changing the ordering when we test
for the version detection.
Item #1 OTOH is a bit of a pain. Its definitely possible to make this work, but
I'm not entirely convinced that this patch accomplishes anything more than
allowing 1.8.5 installed globally which is different than 1.7 installed
globally.

> Context:
> To bench the differences between different versions of couchdb I had to test
> against spidermonkey 1.7 and 1.8.5 . 1.8.5 is installed globally in
> /usr/local while the 1.7 version is installed on a temporary path.
> Problem:
> Using --witth-js-include & --with-js-lib configure options aren't enough to
> use the 1.7 version it still want to use spidermonkey 1.8.5 . Removing
> js-config from the path doesn't change anything. I had to uninstall
> spidermonkey 1.8.5 to have these setting working.
