C. Scott Ananian 1f2eefdbea Support compiling v8js with v8 in a custom path.
If you don't want to overwrite the system copy of v8 in /usr/lib/libv8.so,
you can use the --with-v8=<path> option to have php-v8js use its own
copy of libv8.

V8Js
====
V8Js is a PHP extension for Google's V8 Javascript engine.
The extension allows you to execute Javascript code in a secure sandbox from PHP. The executed code can be restricted using a time limit and/or memory limit. This provides the possibility to execute untrusted code with confidence.
Minimum requirements
--------------------
- V8 Javascript Engine library (libv8) master <https://github.com/v8/v8/> (trunk)
V8 is Google's open source Javascript engine.
V8 is written in C++ and is used in Google Chrome, the open source browser from Google.
V8 implements ECMAScript as specified in ECMA-262, 5th edition.
This extension makes use of V8 isolates to ensure separation between multiple V8Js instances, hence the need for 3.17.11 or above. (See <https://github.com/preillyme/v8js/issues/12>.)
- PHP 5.3.3+
This embedded implementation of the V8 engine uses thread locking so it should work with ZTS enabled.
However, this has not been tested yet.
COMPILING LATEST VERSION
========================
Compile latest v8
-----------------
```
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/v8/v8.git
cd v8
make dependencies
make native library=shared -j8
sudo mkdir -p /usr/lib /usr/include
sudo cp out/native/lib.target/libv8.so /usr/lib/libv8.so
sudo cp include/v8* /usr/include
```
If you don't want to overwrite the system copy of v8, replace `/usr` in
the above commands with `/tmp/v8-install` and then add
`--with-v8js=/tmp/v8-install` to the php-v8js `./configure` command below.
Compile php-v8js itself
-----------------------
```
cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/preillyme/v8js.git
cd v8js
phpize
./configure CXXFLAGS="-DV8_USE_UNSAFE_HANDLES=1"
make
sudo make install
```

// The loader function will receive the normalised module path and should return Javascript code to be executed.

// For best performance V8 is initialized only once per process thus this call has to be done before any V8Js objects are created!

Javascript API
==============
// Print a string.
print(string);
// Dump the contents of a variable.
var_dump(value);
// Terminate Javascript execution immediately.
exit();
// CommonJS Module support to require external code.
// This makes use of the PHP module loader provided via V8Js::setModuleLoader (see PHP API above).
require("path/to/module");
