"File is not a valid JSHint library" in latest JSHint (2.5.10)

[AlexanderOMara]

Attempting to use the "Provide a custom JSHint library file" preference with jshint.js version 2.5.10 results in the the following error in the dialog.

File is not a valid JSHint library

If I point it at a jshint.js version 2.5.6 I have (not the built-in one) it works, but 2.5.10 results in this error. Note this issue may not be new in 2.5.10, I haven't tried 2.5.7 - 2.5.9.

Played with this a bit and it is caused by a non-working global scope detection. This can be workarounded if you place var window = this; at the beginning of the JS file (tested with 2.9.0).

All in all this is JSHint vs Rhino integration issue.
