This is looking awesome and I'm going to attempt to switch my mxr quick
searches over to it. A couple of immediate things that you might want to
think about:

Right now I think mxr updates from mozilla-central faster than daily. I've
used that on a number of occasions to figure out what has broken my
build/patch.

One of the neat things with mxr and multiple trees is that when viewing a
file on say mozilla-central I can easily switch to the mozilla-aurora
version to see how it looks there, this is really useful for figuring out
how a bug affects different branchs. Bonus points might include a file diff
between the trees.
