Pointer Compression
-------------------
V8 versions 8.0 and higher enable pointer compression by default.
See [the design document](https://docs.google.com/document/d/10qh2-b4C5OtSg-xLwyZpEI5ZihVBPtn1xwKBbQC26yI/edit)
for details.
Hence if you use one of the recent version (which you really should),
then you
a) either need to manually disable pointer compression during
the build of the library by passing the
`v8_enable_pointer_compression=false` flag to `v8gen.py`
b) or compile php-v8js with pointer compression as well, by adding
`CPPFLAGS="-DV8_COMPRESS_POINTERS"` to the `./configure` call.
