 ohh, ok.  thanks for clarifying.

 btw slightly OT do you happen to know where i can get build
instructions for pyxpcom?  thinking ahead, i'd like to actually
double-check what the heck's going on, see if there's any hope of
salvaging the mess, check whether creating .deb packaging is easy etc.
(remember ubuntu have gone with xulrunner-1.9.2 already and so we
already have people wondering where pyjamas-desktop has got to).
