An idle question about the build of firefox-1.0.1 found in the extras
section:

* package configs

Looked for firefox package configs under 

	/usr/lib/pkgconfig, 

expecting to find:

        * firefox-nspr.pc 
        * firefox-xpcom.pc 
        * firefox-js.pc 
        * firefox-gtkmozembed.pc 
        * firefox-nss.pc 
        * firefox-plugin.pc

None were found. 

Is this a consequence of building with the default option inmozconfig

ac_add_options --with-system-nspr

If so, why  was that option chosen?  

Applications, like the latest version of epiphany in gnome-2.10.0.x,
[the x is intentional :-)] that are based upon firefox test for the
existence of some of these to determine if firefox is already installed.
