llmozlib is an utter nightmare and is largely the reason my Fedora
packaging efforts are completely stalled at this point. I'm really not
interested in maintaining a mozilla fork, and I doubt adding another
mozilla fork to Fedora will go over well with the Fedora powers that be.

Linking with standard xulrunner would be acceptable, but it doesn't
sound like LL is interested in officially maintaining this option. Which
makes me not want to be stuck trying to maintain it myself.

There is nothing to vote for. cmake supports a unix install target
*natively*. I'll implement it myself if I have to.

What I want is for my RPM spec to look like this:

%build
%cmake .
make VERBOSE=1 %{?_smp_mflags}

%install
rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT
make install DESTDIR=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT

... Period.
