Hope you don't mind me CC'ing the newsgroup, others might have these
questions too.

The install log is created in the product directory by default (where the
netscape executable is) if it can be, and if we don't have proper permission
the install log is written to the user's profile directory.

It loads an arbitrary properties file (same format as chrome locale
.properties files) and returns a javascript object whose property names are
the keys from that file and the values are the strings. This was requested
by international so install scripts could be localized, although there is
very little opportunity for XPInstall to display script-generated text at
the moment.
