Short version:
You can now pull and build a given module foo and it's required
modules without pulling the whole mozilla tree, using:
tools/module-deps/bootstrap.pl --module=foo
Long version:
Embeddors need a way to build mozilla modules without pulling and
building the entire mozilla tree. This mechanism will allow an embeddor to:
* Pull exactly the files needed for a given module
* Build only those files
* Make changes and re-build things easily
You get a minimal tree needed for your module, and your build
may be much faster/shorter in some cases.
Doc explaining how this works is here:

Thanks to alecf, seawood, and blythe for helping make this happen.
Please try this out, let me know what works, what doesn't, and
file bugs under the "build config" component.
