Yes, good point.  That's definitely true with the more recent versions
of the languages.  That's actually a potential error if the engines have
differences, and clearly argues for removing them in and of itself.

Yeah, there's very little in those engine jars.  Just a hanful of
classes that adapt the language impl to the JSR 223 API.  Most of those
jars have less than half a dozen public classes (not counting inner and
anonymous).
