I didn't provide marshallers for Object and FunctionRef due to the
pointers, as it's not clear what the right thing for them is.

I'll add a dummy int there then.

Anyway, to clarify the refcounting protocol, since I think I know what you
want:

1) Return values (including from enclosingObject/rootObject) are always
ref'd by the producer
2) Arguments are to be guaranteed to live for the duration of the call,
and the callee only ref's if it retains them

Also, I should fix the following:
1) Dummy fields for Null/Undefined
2) Make KHTML (and ScriptableLiveConnectExtension) follow the refcount
protocol.
3) Fix KHTML's evaluate call to properly return values

Also, there is one more thing: IMHO the plugin should be required to
release all of its references when it's deleted (to break cycles). It
seems like that's doable for you, right?
