Chris, but isnt the problme here that even if we build using the old
mozilla code in their third_party dir it doesnt work for any modern
installs that dont have a thunderbird based xul 1.7?

For me this doesnt sound like: "make it work with modern libs", but
rather "make it work somehow - even if you copy another code snippet
in your third party stuff".
