Installation of Gjs

Install Gjs by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr &&
make

To test the results, issue: make check. The GTK and Cairo tests will fail if not running in an Xorg session. Two tests that use Unicode are known to fail, as C.UTF-8 isn't defined as a locale in our environment.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
