Comment(by d...@…):
If you rebuild NSS, due to static linking that is not easily overcome in
the arcane coreconf build system, then you need to rebuild
xulrunner/firefox. Additionally, Thunderbird and Seamonky (last I
checked) had to use the old minor versions of both. Latest security
patched releases are included with Firefox, Xulrunner, Thunderbird, and
Seamonkey, _always_. We'll have to wait for Thunderbird 3 and new
SeaMonky to utilize the system nss/nspr for those projects. Some of the
information was contained in a few private emails with George Sherwood
(SourceMage maintainer working with the Mozilla projects) whom I was
working with at the time. Here is a link to the roundup message where I
had given separate build instructions, and later recommended system NSPR
with internal NSS for mozy products.

I'm still not sure what to do about a system NSS for external projects
that will use it, which is why I left the instructions for NSS in that
message. Anyway, I had thought that there are many messages leading up to
that one prior to Novemeber, but I can't seem to find them...I'm probably
remembering the private emails. If you'd still like to review them, I'll
go back and dig them up, just yell.
