After I sent the original email I just changed
"mozilla-thunderbird-xpcom" in the configure.in to "xulrunner-xpcom"
and things built and ran fine.  So I think that the IDL files needed
aren't necessarily Thunderbird-specific, they'll work against any
Mozilla-based product.  How much those interfaces change between
products and between versions, I have no idea.

Do you know specifically what IDL files are required?  Or is it just
the xpidl tool?
