Well, yes, but I still would have to distribute a custom built version
of the whole of Enigmail (probably for different platforms as well if it
uses native code?), right?  And keep track of security fixes and all
that, even for code that is not related to my own work.

While not really hard, it would be much easier if I could package my
changes as a "separate" Mozilla extension and users could install stock
Enigmail through their distro or however they like, and when they also
install my own extension, then Enigmail will be extended.  Or is this a
stupid idea?  I doubt it is possible, though.

Yours,
Daniel
