The third-runner JavaScriptCore has always been pretty good about embedding, though. (Apple has offered it as a separate framework with a stable API since 2004 or something.)
It seems to me that the reason why Chrome went with the in-house V8 rather than just improving JavaScriptCore wasn't so much technical as political. Ultimately they ended up forking the entire WebKit too.
