I'd probably help testing too with mozilla-related things, since currently
my mozilla (with mail client) refuses to start and just comes up with a
sigsegv, regardless of whether ~/.mozilla exists.

Slowly, I begin wondering if building mozilla from source is worth all the
trouble. The mozilla and firefox and thunderbird sources seem all to be a
copy of one (I've seen compiles of ftp-related stuff building thunderbird),
and the build system seems to be a complete mess if you do anything out of
the ordinary (like possessing the new glibc).

So I would propose having a "mozilla-bin" spell in z-rejected for those that
just don't want the bother but are one way or another stuck using mozilla.

So Far,
  Karsten
