There's a jslint fork called jshint which is able to run in the browser 
without any node.js dependency.

I created a POC patch [1] long time ago to demonstrate its capabilities. 
It's integrated with qunit and runs automatically with the horizon test 
suite.

The patch also contains a .jshintrc file for the node.js package but you 
can remove it since it's not used by the qunit+jshint test at all.
