Most of that code is in the tree now, which is nice.  We're pretty
close to being able to use Mozilla embedded without any LD_LIBRARY_PATH
or MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME nonsense.  I spent a good amount of time with
dougt to make sure that the patches came out right.

Now all that needs to happen is to convert the component libs over to
use the new interfaces and get all the dependencies right (less work
than it sounds, fwiw.)
