Comment 1 Alexis Ballier gentoo-dev 2007-11-24 09:35:13 UTC 
in freewrl-1.19.1/JS/js1.5/README:
This is the JavaScript SpiderMonkey version 1.5 release. This code
is verbatim from the http://www.mozilla.org website; all rights,
etc, stay with them.

so well imho this is very bad to include it and not use the system one, and even worse to install a shared library.

detect system-installed spidermonkey to avoid compiling its own

This patch, along with a dependency requiring either xulrunner or spidermonkey (spidermonkey should go first, since it's a much smaller install), will enforce the use of system-installed libs for javascript support and so FreeWRL will skip compilation/installation of the spidermonkey source tree included in the archive.
