Hi Thien-Thi,
thanks for your job!
Have you checked that you have covered any topic present in the
README.ICECAT file? There is not need for both and icecat.texi will
replace it.
I have only few comments:

This is not true anymore and the web page was changed accordingly:
"While the principal source code from the Mozilla project is free
software, they distribute and recommend non-free software as plug-ins
and addons."

Actually there is no need to filter the version number as we are
following the Firefox version used by Icecat, it can be just:
read v < icecat/browser/config/version.txt

privacy_ext files are not needed to build Icecat. It is an independent

Like above.

the privacy_ext.xpi file can be packed using this command:
cd icecat/trunk/privacy_ext; svn list -R | while read f; do test -f $f \
&& echo $f; done | xargs zip privacy_ext.xpi
Cheers,
