It's cool, but not really what I want. I'm not automating this because I
care how a particular browser works. I'm automating it because I want it
automated. I don't need or even want a GUI. I want to run it as a cron
job and email myself a result when there is one.

I had this problem with htmlunit too. It wanted to fire up a browser
GUI. No, bad tool!

Probably there are no GUI-less, javascript-capable, scriptable tools out
there. There's probably some way to cobble one together now that guile
supports javascript, but like I said: time.
