The use case in question: a few years ago I embedded V8 in a Win32 app with a single .DLL and header file, but V8 has exploded in complexity since then and no longer appears suitable for lightweight applications, meaning anything smaller than a full-fledged Web browser. I need to upgrade that interpreter at some point, so I'm definitely in the market for something comparable to what V8 used to be.
Kind of unfortunate, but I'm hardly the user the V8 team has in mind.
