(i think) That was just referring to the llmozlib source, llmozlib in
linden builds is hard welded to the binary, plus has all the xpcom/xul
baggage. I think i am still the only one shipping a dynamic library
version of llmozlib without baggage and i really hope this is the way
things can end up.

Tofu seemed to suggest world domination plans for llmozlib so
hopefully this will become a true separate project at ubrowser.com and
i presume they will just ship a compiled llmozlib as they do for all
existing libraries now but one could if they so wished go to ubrowser
and compile it themselves.

In fact hijacking the thread completely. Would it be worth :-

1) creating a dynamic llmozlib regardless of if in needs its own
xpcom/xul or uses xul runner
This would allow versions to be upgraded seperatly to the viewer. As
logged on JIRA already this I have done both with xulrunner and with
my own xpcom/xul baggage.

2) Can we runtime detect llmozlib instead of linking and change ALL of
the #ifdef LL_LIBXUL_ENABLED to a runtime flag that is set TRUE is
llmozlib.so/dll is detected??
