This means that you usually need to compile v8 on your own before
you can start to compile & install v8js itself.

Snapshots
---------
V8 has (optional) support for so-called snapshots which speed up startup
performance drastically. Hence they are generally recommended for use.
There are two flavours of snapshots: internal & external.
Internal snapshots are built right into the V8 library (libv8.so file),
so there's no need to handle them specially.
Besides there are external snapshots (which are enabled unless configured
otherwise). If V8 is compiled with these, then V8Js needs to provide two
"binary blobs" to V8, named `natives_blob.bin` and `snapshot_blob.bin`.
In that case copy those two files to `/usr/share/v8/...`.

* If the V8 library is newer than 4.4.9.1 you need to pass `snapshot=off` to
`make`, otherwise the V8 library will not be usable

* If you do that with a v8 library of 4.2 branch or newer, then you need
to fix the RUNPATH header in the v8js.so library so the libicui18n.so
is found. By default it is set to `$ORIGIN/lib.target/`, however the files
lie side by side. Use `chrpath -r '$ORIGIN' libv8.so` to fix.
`libv8_libplatform.a` should not be copied directly since it's a thin
archive, i.e. it contains only pointers to the build objects, which
