Well...I stumbled across another bad assumption by some packages too.
They only look for the moz or ff pc files and assume nspr/nss is in the
include root for the project. Therefore, 'ln -sv ../{nspr,nss}
/usr/include/firefox-1.5/' :-) That's pretty easy to fix though, and
fortunately it's already done for OOo, courtesy of ooo-build.
