(I should have done this many moons ago, like I promised Ed Burns I
would, but it slipped my mind. Still time to remove this legacy noise
from our 1.0 stuff, though.)
Prior to the 0.9.1 freeze, I'm going to be finally disabling and
removing support for use of NSGetFactory/NSRegisterSelf/etc. as
component entry points. There is no need for them, and there hasn't
been for quite some time, and in fact their continued use has made
things like the static-build work harder.
If you'd like to see if your code will need to be brought into the 20th
century, you should use this LXR query:

I've blind-copied some people on this message, where I know that they
own the code in question, or will be able to immediately finger the
person who does, but finding the right owner for some of it is
non-trivial. Which is why the fair readers of mozilla-seamonkey are
seeing this semi-spam.
If you file a bug on yourself or someone else to track the updating of
your code, please mark it as blocking 77151. Thank you.
