I guess you know about https://github.com/plv8/plv8 , but would like to see it builtin? Unfortunately, having something like v8 as a postgres build dependency would be pretty drastic increase in build requirements. A number of distributions of postres (debian/ubuntu packages (all versions http://apt.postgresql.org/), rhel based (https://yum.postgresql.org/) provide it in an easy manner. I'm not sure there's something as convenient for OSX and windows however :(
