It should be noted that if we do manage to get a RISC OS build of
NetSurf 3.0 with JavaScript support (at the moment we do not have the
actual interpreter built for RISC OS, but do have its dependancies
built), it will not work on sites that do dynamic layout changes.
Basically, it will only be useful in the first instance for the type of
JavaScripts that only look but don't touch the document, and for
document.write()-type generation.

Full dynamic layout requires a significant reworking of our layout code
to be able to cope with the document changing, and this is scheduled for
a future version of NetSurf beyond 3.0.
