But it's mozilla software, so we have to accept that it's ugly and a maintenance nightmare. 

And of course polkit can only work with mozjs17. Great, a 'security' helper
than depends on a library that doesn't get any security updates and doesn't
work properly on !x86...

I'll see if I can fix polkit in a different way, there's a patch to move it to
the duktape js library, maybe that will improve things.
