So I guess zero_the_hero was right: there is never a reason to reinstall

It sems a rebuild wasn't necessary. On my laptop I `cast -c -r glibc` with
ntpl and (again) did an `rm -rf ~/.firefox`. After that it "magically" worked
again. Unfortunately, when I tried the same trick on my work box (remote), the
glibc build failed during install, leaving me with a borked machine.

I can't say it often enough: the help you get on #sourcemage is incredible..
never seen anything like it on any other channel. Thanks guys (esp. sandalle,
worf, Bernardo, afrayedknot).
