Oooo. :-) We were using the nsIModule macro ( NS_IMPL_GETMODULE ) like the
core mozilla modules do. I assume that there's an implicit passing of aPersist
as PR_TRUE in there. Is there an easy way to pass PR_FALSE without sacrificing
the macro simplicity?

I certainly agree here, I was surprised to see that there was no aPersist
parameter passed to the auto calls.
Is is written anywhere what the Correct Way(tm) for an embedder to register
their components is?
