building elinks with javascript support breaks Gnome

[Kenny Hitt]

Hi.

I filed a request to enable javascript support on the elinks package.  I
would also like to file a bug on the
libmozjs-dev package in case the elinks maintainer doesn't want to
enable javascript.  If libmozjs-dev can be installed, then I can just
build my own elinks from source.

I'm not familiar with launchpad, so I can't figure out how to file a bug
against libmozjs-dev yet.  I'll keep poking around until I figure it
out.
