To prevent all unnecessary calls to JS from MakeCallback, the remaining two immediate return variables inTick and lastThrew have been added to infoBox. Now MakeCallback should never need to call into JS unless it absolutely has to. Also removed Tock. Performance tests showed it was at least as fast or faster than using a normal object, and this is more readable.
Evented I/O for V8 javascript.
