Polkit on Duktape

[Jasper St. Pierre]

Is that really different from standalone releases of mozjs, which have
never been officially supported by Mozilla?

I embedded duktape here, because that's what upstream recommends, and
it isn't that hard to update when that day comes (just drop two new
files in there, similar to pcre in glib), but if distributions really
want a shared library, I suppose we could do that.
