In case someone is interested I'd like to point to issue [1] (removing
the mozilla dependency for security stuff) and its corresponding branch
[2]. When this is finished the only remaining dependency to Mozilla is
AFAIK for its address book support. IMHO the system and LDAP address
books should suffice.

It seems that this still breaks in the "connectivity" module (even when
using --disable-build-mozilla and the above prebuilt stuff), with errors
like
Are you trying to build the Remove_MOZ branch? According to Fan it is
currently only built on Windows and Mac. Getting it to work on the
Unixes is still work in progress. The --disable-build-mozilla option is
also removed from this branch.
Anyway, I suggest to focus on the release first and concentrate on
branches such as this when we released AOO 4.0.
So, unless I use --disable-mozilla, I'm still unable to make a full
build on a recent system.
Even for building trunk I'd suggest to use the prebuilt mozilla
binaries. The mozilla/seamonkey source tarball is way obsoleted for many
years already. The alternatives are to invest energy on
a) updating the tarball to build on modern tool chains
b) update the tarball and our codebase to work with newer versions
c) weigh the benefits (address book) of this extremely heavy dependency
vs. its drawbacks and draws the consequences: remove the moz dependency
and replace the most important address book sources
The branch attempts to do c) which is the most reasonable goal I think.
