Yupp, probably. Description was pretty much copy&paste yet.

That, or pkg-postgresql. Not sure which matches better :)
Coorindinating with v8 might be a reason for pkg-js.

BTW, as you seem to be good with the whole js stuff: plv8 includes
coffee-script.js and livescript.js, is there a sane way to generate
these at build-time? coffee-script is packaged, but I do not see a
single .js as shipped in plv8 currently.
