The embedding builds contain apps built using the embedding APIs plus
all the necessary Gecko chrome and components to run them. They are not
meant as SDKs but as sanity and QA builds to ensure that embedding works
as intended. If you want to embed Gecko into your own apps you have to
pull and build the whole Mozilla and follow the embedding documentation
here:
