jskeyword.tbl not included in libmozjs-dev

[mankyd]

Binary package hint: libmozjs-dev

The header files included with libmozjs-dev (i.e. jsapi.h) do not include jskeyword.tbl. It is included from jsparse.h:

http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/file/e919f0c1dfa9/js/src/jskeyword.tbl

This file isn't needed specifically for the distribution of spidermonkey that comes with Ubuntu (at least I don't think it is,) but is be needed by some developers when they write their own applications.

For instance, I am working on building SpiderMonkey's File object into my own project - an object that can optionally come with spidermonkey but is generally not included. To do this, I had to define compile time flags with cause jskeyword.tbl to be included from from inside of jsparse.h:

  #define JS_KEYWORD(keyword, type, op, version) \
      extern const char js_##keyword##_str[];
  #include "jskeyword.tbl"
  #undef JS_KEYWORD

This fails since jskeyword.tbl is not included in the package as it should be.
