@MadLittleMods @alfredo1 @brycepj can you guys test for a few hours if this change works for you without setting the EXECJS_RUNTIME?

Last time I remember it worked, but we didn't merge because of issues compiling libv8 on macOS that Marcia encountered.

I tested it again with mini_racer and it's working fine for the last couple weeks. \o/

@axil I only spent about 10 minutes testing it, but it works fine for me. As I remember, the problem usually presents immediately anyway. I say let's go forward with the merge then.

I guess we won't need the note I added to the README anymore? I removed it just in case (840f5c41).

unmarked as a Work In Progress

Ok great, let's merge!
