Very cool, Randy. Thanks for checking this out. Are there any mods
needed to the Tbird/Fox builds to catch the system NSS/NSPR? Don't
have the source handy right now, but I'm guessing something like
--with-system-nspr?
I vote that this should definitely get a section under Security or
somewhere else if no issues come up. No need to reinvent the wheel if
you're installing multiple packages that use NSS/NSPR. And from what
you wrote, it looks like this is a good chunk of the libraries in
/usr/lib/{firefox,thunderbird}.
