Hello !

I stopped updating v8 for a while, waiting to see which version was going
to be used
for nodejs Long Term Support (4.2.x) branch, which embeds v8 4.5.
Now i think the simplest thing to do is to take advantage of the LTS of
nodejs
to distribute that version of v8, to avoid a non-upstream-maintained
version in debian.

Is there something else raspbian need besides arm fpu/cpu config ?
If not, next nodejs (4.2 or even 5.2) upload should build and run fine.
(not the current one because of the wrong -mfpu=vfpv2 option), and
next month i'll upload libv8-4.5.

Regards,
Jérémy.
