Go ahead and do it then. The repository has public write access for a
reason ;-) It might be best to replace it with the latest packed
version and see if it fits into GemStone. If it doesn't a lazy
accessor would be nice.

Note however that the usual disclaimer applies that the backing
JavaScript library has seen no updates in 2.5 years.
