to rhino-for-webapps
with a couple caveats but i thought i would share in case folks are
interested.

http://jquery-claypool.appspot.com/

is running serverside javascript with envjs, jquery, and claypool in
googles appengine.

caveats:
you can't use setTimeout or async xhr as google doesn't allow apps to
create threads.
ajax only supports http protocols, and inline scripts aren't allowed
as google doesnt allow access to the local file system.

all in all i'm amazed at how easy it was to get working. i did find
and patch a little bug in envjs xhr implementation that caused an
error when copying response headers. the latest was pushed to github.

i created an app for the rhino-for-webapps project as well! I'll post
back here when it's up.
