Well number one as far as V8 is concerned you can see the disaster develop if
you reverted the renaming. However if you think about how headers are included
esp given the X11 one are deep in gtk you can see why I found it rapidly turned
into a hopeless mess. With the patch at least someone else could verify that
not doing the renaming results in a intractable mess.

And yes the X11 developers who are responsible should be beaten if they are not
retired but .. Its not like C does not support enums.

So thats the first hurdle.

The debugging support could readily be done as a sister patch but here I have
changes to chromdevtools and also code seriously reworked from chromium itself
along with some headers from chromium.

And this introduces a JSON native parser which should probably be bumped into
some generic place to support native JSON.

Potentially lots of good stuff but as I said I need help.
