 yeah i did some updates to get things to work with xulrunner 9, and
they actually worked.  like... really, properly worked.  then i tried
xulrunner 10 (the version that's in debian/testing) and it went
completely to shit.

 i've raised bugreports and the mozilla developers don't give a fuck.
there are other teams of people using xulrunner 10 for embedded
purposes (not just python-xpcom - people using c++ and java), and the
mozilla developers _still_ don't give a fuck.

 generally deeply unimpressive.  about the only way round this is to
take xulrunner 9 source code and debian packaging, rename xulrunner-9
to 
workaround-for-fucking-morons-at-mozilla-who-dont-give-a-shit-about-anything-other-than-firefox-firefox-firefox-xulrunner-9,
likewise for python-xpcom _and_ hulahop, and then make pyjamas-desktop
depend on those.

 and i really can't be bothered.  the OLPC team have given up on
mozilla - ripped out xulrunner and hulahop and are now using
pywebkitgtk, and have been really happy with it.
