Helper functions:

}

function base_defines($x) { // define default
	foreach ($x as $k => $v) {
		if (!defined($k)) {
			define($k,$v);
		}
	}
}

Usage:

$lint=new JSLEngine();
if (!$lint->Lint($js)) {
    echo "bad js code! full output:\n";
    echo $lint->output();
}

Make sure you set the default path on the __construct, so you don’t need to keep setting it on every call.
