Bug 106161 - merge Content & Layout libraries

Plan:

Build content/ as a static dll and layout/ will assimilate it. This is 
expected to land mid next week (oct end).

Why:

There is a lot of footprint and performance wins that can be got by 
merging them. A lot of targetted deXPComification is being planned post 
the merge - nsStyleData, nsRuleNode

How will this affect us:

Depending on the actual implementation, if you make a change in content/ 
you will have to build layout/ too to get the changes reflected into the 
  layout dll. gkcontent.dll wont exists anymore after this.

This is planned for 0.9.6. I hope to land this mid next week. I will 
give warning prior to landing it.
