    Description

      On a Debian/Ubuntu system, you have to help configure to find the JS library:

      xulrunner_gre_version=`xulrunner --gre-version`
      ./configure -with-js-lib=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel${xulrunner_gre_version}/lib/ -with-js-include=/usr/lib/xulrunner-devel${xulrunner_gre_version}/include/ && make

      It seems that Yelp is able to do this on it's own using special m4 macros[1].

      I would like the CouchDB configure script to be able to find the JS library without requiring extra arguments.
