Hello,

Sorry for the delay.

I tried that, by removing `.mozconfig' to avoid any conflicts and
configuring the thing with the following options:

  "--enable-application=browser"
  "--enable-libxul"
  "--disable-javaxpcom"
  "--disable-tests"

  "--enable-optimize"
  "--disable-debug"
  "--disable-static"
  "--enable-shared"
  "--enable-strip"
  "--with-system-jpeg"
  "--with-system-zlib"
  "--with-system-bz2"
  "--enable-system-cairo"
  "--disable-crashreporter"

  "--with-user-appdir=.gnuzilla"
  "--with-distribution-id=org.gnu.gnuzilla"
  "--with-branding=browser/branding/unofficial"
  "--disable-official-branding"

This way, I do get both the `icecat' binary and `libxul.so', but I don't
have `xpidl'.  Likewise, this doesn't provide any of the `.pc' files
(pkg-config) needed by, e.g., MPlayer-plug-in.  So I guess xulrunner and
the browser can't be built at the same time.

Thanks,
Ludo'.
