I've updated my patch, and it runs successfully now here. The wiki @
http://live.gnome.org/Epiphany_2fEphyPython_2fPyXPCOM has the updated
patch, and instructions how to build and test PyXPCOM.
I've tested it on a firefox trunk build, but the patch applies to 1.7
branch too with only 2 unimportant failures (can someone confirm that it
builds on 1.7 branch?).

More testing appreciated; I've had one report that it doesn't work on
fedora FC3; so it would be nice if someone who has that distribution
could confirm if it does indeed (not) work for then.

Regards,
