Unstable/unusable builds since 3.29.36

[stesie]

We need to call v8::V8::InitializePlatform on startup now and v8::V8::ShutdownPlatform on shutdown.

See http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lang.javascript.v8.general/8029

I've prepared a fix at https://github.com/stesie/v8js/tree/fix-init-platform
Maybe someone is willing to give it a try with a recent v8 version.

V8 now ships with a small library named libplatform, which we can use to provide a platform implementation to V8 (instead of providing our own)

Could you build that branch on Jenkins? It would probably provide the best feedback if this still work.

[stesie]

Sure I can, and I'm actually on it. However I first have to rebuild the latest v8 library versions and keep the libplatform stuff as well.

Apart from that, I actually wanted to signalize that I'm working on the topic and wanted to collect some feedback whether using libplatform is the way to go for us. It's complicating the build process a little bit, but should still be ok ...

[stesie]

Ok, Jenkins finished his work ... everything's building fine, hence I'll go and merge ...
