Nope. The Thunderbird developers have just decided that their application is now
called Shredder rather than Thunderbird. We had no way of predicting they were 
about to make this change. They certainly didn't think to let us know.

I've just checked in an alias for this name to Orca SVN trunk, to map it to the 
Thunderbird script.

If you can think of ways we can improve handling unexpected changes like this in 
Orca, we'd like to hear from you.
