I've fooled around with using the Firefox NSPR stuff to build Thunderbird, and there was some issue but I can't remember now what it was. Though I knew they existed, I never tried to build the stand-alone versions of the NSPR stuff. Additionally, all the Mozilla stuff would have to show that the NSPR stuff as an *optional* dependency, and the default commands for the Mozilla packages would have to build using commands that don't include the separate NSPR stuff. Then, in the commands explanation section, there would have to be some mention on how to use a pre-installed NSPR installation.
