I'm not committing to reviewing this but I noticed a couple things:

1) I see that we're installing jsmin.py... If this is a derivative of the jsmin
stuff that Douglas Crockford did then we can't do that.  jsmin is not under an
fsf free license (the silly "must be used for good, not evil clause does that
to us).

2) usually we don't make shared libraries if upstream is not making shared
libraries due to being afraid that we'll choose a version that upstream will
later stomp on.  The same idea (upstream reusing the version number we use for
a later, API incompatible, release of their own) would seem to apply here. 
However, I do see that Debian is providing versioned dynamic libs (Their
patches are different, though... perhaps we should adopt their approach?
http://packages.debian.org/experimental/libv8-2.4.7)  The best outcome would be
for upstream to start providing versioned dynamic libraries.  Have you
contacted them about this?  The debian patches are to the build files so they
could be an appropriate starting point for that discussion.
