Archaic, you are the man!
Please folks, comment on this as I would like to implement immediately.
We'd really need a compelling reason why we don't change the existing
instructions to use Archaic's method.
In general, I'm all in favour of a version of firefox that works
less-badly.
But, I like having multiple browsers so that I can look at different
things on different desktops. Epiphany works with the book's current
instructions, with a different set of instructions the .pc files didn't
get installed (and they pointed to /usr/local), nor did necessary
headers. Does this variation install headers, or will I also have to
build mozilla for the headers ?
