It turns out I got the story wrong.  Rhys Weatherley has been working on an unrelated JScript implementation (very recently announced) that will be part of Portable.Net.  (He didn't know about JANET, and I didn't know about his project.)  As part of a broader effort to ensure general compatability, Gopal is has been testing to see whether JANET runs under Portable.Net.  But JANET will not be part of Portable.Net and it has not been checked into the Portable.Net source tree.
