Is it possible to replace SpiderMonkey?

[Jens Alfke]

How hard would it be to plug a different JavaScript engine into CouchDB? Nothing against SpiderMonkey, but the new generation of JS engines are a whole lot faster. I've got Google's V8 built as a command-line tool; would it be possible to use it in CouchDB?

(I'm not even sure whether CouchDB runs any JS in-process or outsources it all to an external process.)
