I don't doubt it.

What about just linking it in a la the implementation used in GLCS?  
That's what I'm really looking for.

I gotta admit though, the Mozilla docs in general are so bad and out 
of date and poorly organized that I've rather kind of given up on 
anything to do with that project, except using the browser itself 
which I like a lot.

I was interested in using XPFE, for example, but could find almost no 
documentation on it whatsoever.  I just threw up my hands and switched 
to another toolkit.
