unless something has drastically changed, no.
this is actually related to a problem I have: not only are typelibs separate
files, but they must be in the mozilla/components directory or they're not
seen. this means that you can't have a system mozilla directory and let
users install extensions to mozilla, since they won't have rights to the
components/ directory.
i've been planning to fix the simple version of this for a while now (SashXB
really needs it, to avoid having to keep a separate per-user copy of
mozilla) by supporting a search path of typelib locations.
If there was a convincing way to include type information in DLLs on Unix
(which afaik is the real problem with what you're asking for) I'd sure look
into it -- it would make life way easier, since we already know where the
DLLs are :)
