Is this using the DLR? 

I suggest that you do two things:

	* That you ensure that your publicly visible API matches the 
	  Silverlight Javascript compiler, either using the object
	  browser in Visual Studio or using monop2:

	  Use monop2 -r Microsoft.Javascript.dll

	  And then dump each type with:

		monop2 -r:Microsoft.Javascript.dll Some.Type

	* You should check this work into the olive module, in the
	  olive/class directory.

	* You should write a tokenizer/parser from scratch based on 
	  the public spec instead of the one that we did in the past,
	  I suggest a manually written recursive descendant parser 
	  or even jay, but I would stay away from antlr which is a
	  pretty large dependency to put in the tree

Miguel.
