I'll post back my results if I get a chance to try this. Honestly, I
haven't had any chance to work on mozilla for a while :(

Cool!

I know :(

I can't see any way to support adding entirely new files without doing
this though - it's all very well to produce a patch that adds the file,
but if it doesn't also create the patch snippet for adding it to the
jar.mn file it will be crippled.

I think the feature really requires complexity to implement it,
unfortunately. Feel free to prove me wrong! :)
