Comer,
You can look at embedded Mozilla as a component in full Mozilla.
However, the lines distinguishing the two are not black and white. For
example, due to many code level dependencies, one cannot currently exist
without the other. So, at that level it's not a true component. However,
Embedded Mozilla is a subset of "full" Mozilla. Notice that to build
Embedded Mozilla, you actually build *all* of Mozilla, then just copy
out the pieces you need. Our current manifest file system illustrates
this
(http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/embedding/config/basebrowser-unix).
We are actively working on a cleaner separation of the two. That effort
is largely represented in the following bugs.
Dependency breaking - http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=100107
Build system support for componentized builds -
