Excellent.. thanks. I'll apply your patch now.

Yeah, any suggestions on how to make this easier would be good. Mozilla
also has a scheme for whitelisting scripts, which they do when
inspecting add-ons going into their repository. They have this script:

https://github.com/mozilla/amo-validator/blob/master/extras/jslibfetcher.py

that downloads the scripts, then the build_whitelist.py script in that
directory makes a whitelist file.

As I was looking into this I found out that an older version of that
code is actually included in the LibreJS repository here:

http://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/lh/librejs/dev/files/head:/tools/library-fetch-tools/

So going forward, we could go the jslibfetcher route, or use gethash.sh,
or something different altogether.
