Actually, I've been thinking a bit more on this one. As a compromise, we 
could probably still get rid of the XUL Runner page and use only the 
Firefox page to first build XUL Runner, and then Firefox in a separate 
build directory from only the Firefox source tarball. This is the way 
Firefox should actually be built anyway for our purposes. Without the 
dev libs, a user cannot build browser extensions from source (still 
ignoring the fact that the build tree needs to kept around). The FF 
portion of the build should take < 0.1 SBU. The reason it is not done 
that way by default is that the Mozilla devs choose not to cater to 
developers, but rather end users...understandable give the huge Windows 
target, but a minor PITA for us and a source of mild disagreement. 
Anybody think this is a bad compromise?
