This is where the magical ExtUtils::Depends comes in.  It lets modules
depend on other XS modules.  That's what Gtk2::MozEmbed does with Gtk2,
which in turn depends on Glib.  They all have their public header
installed some place where ExtUtils::Depends can find them, so you can
just include them and have all their conversion functions and helpers
available to you.

If you use ExtUtils::Depends in Mozilla (just copy and edit one of our
Makefile.PL's), then Gtk2::MozEmbed could easily depend on it.
Everything in the public header(s) plus all the typemaps would be
available to Gtk2::MozEmbed.
