Added instructions to install spidermonkey from source

  
  This solution is referenced in bug report [[https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xulrunner-1.9/+bug/557275|#557275]].
  
+ ==== Installing spidermonkey from source ====
+ 
+ This has been tested on Ubuntu 8.04 Server, with couchdb 1.2.0, from source.
+ 
+ {{{
+ install_spidermonkey_ ( ) {
+     cd /tmp
+     SPIDERMONKEY_VER="js185-1.0.0"
+     SPIDERMONKEY_DIR="js-1.8.5"
+     wget http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/${SPIDERMONKEY_VER}.tar.gz
+     tar xvzf ${SPIDERMONKEY_VER}.tar.gz
+     cd ${SPIDERMONKEY_DIR}/js/src
+     make distclean 2> /dev/null # Just in case it is dirty
+     ./configure
+     make clean
+     make
+     sudo make install
+     sudo ldconfig # Make sure the new libraries are reachable
+ }
+ install_spidermonkey_
+ }}}
+ 
+ And then, to build couch:
+ {{{
+ JS_LIB="/usr/local/lib/libmozjs185.so"
+ JS_INCLUDE="/usr/local/include/js"
+ ./configure --with-js-lib=${JS_LIB} --with-js-include=${JS_INCLUDE}
+ }}}
+ 
+ Note: because the libtools in Ubuntu 8.04 are old, the macro LT_INIT is not supported.
+ To install CouchDB 1.2.0, some hacking must be performed on the configure script:
+ 
+ {{{
+ sed -i -e 's/^LT_INIT/#LT_INIT/' configure
+ }}}
+ 
  ==== System updates ====
  When performing system updates (using apt-get or package manager) please keep in mind that the `/etc/ld.so.conf.d/xulrunner.conf` file is not maintained by the system and will not be updated if a new version of xulrunner is deployed!
