<glandium> scientes: it's not in my immediate todo list. but it might
come eventually, although i'm worried about the state of the xul ui
<scientes> what do you mean?
<scientes> " state of the xul ui"
<glandium> the mobile xul code is mostly dead
<glandium> it's not going to be actually maintained for long, so
it will eventually break because of other changes in gecko
<glandium> another problem is that mobile doesn't use the same
settings for gecko as firefox, which makes sharing xulrunner not
possible, at least not without some effort figuring out what is missing.
<glandium> if in the end, it can be shared, fine, but if not, it
means almost an entirely separate build
