With the current patch, no... because that would mean that a package
with both .webapp and .json would always be an addon, and that would
prevent regualar apps from including a file named manifest.json. I guess
we could refine by checking the content of the various manifests... but
seriously, for 25 existing add-ons?

And I already converted Snappy Twitter and the Brightness slider ones at
https://people.mozilla.org/~fdesre/extensions

One of the changes to make to the mini-manifest is that the "developer"
property can only have a "name" sub-property because manifest.json only
has an "author" property.
