Re: registering components in external modules (dll format)

[Rick Parrish]

Lazy way is to dump the DLL into the components directory and call 
AutoRegister() ...

As for what symbols the DLL is supposed to export - look at

http://lxr.mozilla.org/seamonkey/source/xpcom/sample/nsSampleModule.cpp

I think the macros of interest are NS_GENERIC_FACTORY_CONSTRUCTOR() and
NS_IMPL_NSGETMODULE().
