Any progress in talks with Node.JS to make an implementation independent JS engine API for node?

Its a long goal as of now that everyone want to achieve. You can follow this discussion at https://github.com/nodejs/nan/issues/349

That thread doesn't show a lot of promise towards an engine neutral API.

True. I think it will pick up once Node.js + Chakracore (or other Javascript Engines) starts taking momentum.
