Right now, AFAICS, there is no way to test the operation-callback-lets-execution-continue case.  This happens a lot in the browser (not just when the user clicks "Continue" on the slow-script dialog, but at regular intervals before we decide to throw up the slow-script dialog.  This patch changes WatchdogMain so it fires the callback 10 times a second until the timeout value is exceeded.

Terrence, you reviewed Niko's patch to this code, so I think you're the reviewer for this patch, but Niko feel free to let me know if this looks right to you.

As part of bug 829602, I have a variation that I am hoping to land soon in which the user can supply a JS function to be called upon timeout:

I think this might address your use case?
That would also be good (and would allow us to test non-threadsafe builds).  For threadsafe builds though, I like this change since it would mean we are *always* testing the non-abortive operation callback (well, any time we use timeout(), not just when we go through the effort of specifying a callback function that sometimes aborts).
