xpcom only sees .xpt files in the 'components' directory. In a
debug build, changes to xpt files are autdetected on every
application startup. In release builds you need to force an
autoregistration programatically (either via
nsIInterfaceInfoManager::autoRegisterInterfaces()
or using the autoRegister method on nsIComponentManager of via
whatever mechanism the installer provides if you are using the
installer).
