Re: mozilla files to delete

    I just prepared packages removing that list of files :) If you want
    I can do it again adding these new files.  

Yes, I think that's necessary.  I don't think all the branding files can
simply be removed.  Those icons and such are actually used in the
running software.

    In addition I have to find a way on how handle the patch-ia, I think
    it will be a problem in future to maintain it in this way.

Indeed, we clearly need to be able to incrementally work on the
problematic files, in a slow-and-steady-process kind of way.

My thought is to maintain a script (in our cvs) which operates on an
original mozilla tree.  It would remove the nonfree files which we
identify, and replace the seamonkey/mozilla/firefox/... branding files
with iceape/gnuzilla/iceweasel/... files where we have them.  The new
iceape files which are copied in could/should be checked into our cvs
tree.  Wdyt?

Until and unless the git setup is done, which I don't guess will happen
until Alexander comes back from vacation, at best.

Thanks,
k
