These are pretty straightforward options:

js-mxmlc
jsmxmlc

I'd lean more towards the version with the dash in the name, if we consider
that we also have a jqueryc to rename. I think jquery-mxmlc is easier to
read than jquerymxmlc.

In the future, I would also hope to see node-mxmlc for NodeJS.

Does MXML work with this output type? If not, then maybe using asc in the
name would be better:

js-asc
jsasc
