What is "js-package"?  If the "js" isn't JavaScript, what is it?

I don't have a collection of image processing scripts handy for such 
testing, but I've seen some in the forums I may be able to hunt down if 
they're useful.

If we expand the conversation from "externals" to all forms of 
extensions in general, then certainly LCB-based widgets tend to be GUI 
controls.

But if we look at the types of externals most commonly used in LC at the 
moment, we have tsNet, the MER collection, and others, most of which 
provide some pretty great functionality but are rarely creating GUI 
controls.
