1.73.1 2011-11-28

NOTE: this is a "major" code update from 1.73.0 with some incompatibilities although keeping the bits backward compatible as much as possible :

• add a JS:Function#apply to be used for calling functions from Ruby
• add a JS:Function#bind usable with JS functions from Ruby
• JS:Function#call should work similar to Method/Proc#call
• customizable scriptable access module for resolving Ruby properties from JS with TRR compatible Ruby::DefaultAccess and a custom Ruby::AttributeAccess
• implement JavaScript function style argument filling/slicing (for Ruby)
• delegate to hash like method []/[]= when wrapped subject supports them
• introduce Ruby::Constructor JS wrapper for Ruby classes
• hande int JavaScript property resolution
• make sure Time -> Date conversion happens as well
• deprecate JavascriptError use JSError instead with a javascript_backtrace fix
• avoid using Rhino::To.javascript instead use Rhino.to_javascript etc.

• Rhino::J gets deprecated it's now know as Rhino::JS
