Re: GNU IceCat 2.0.0.10-g1 and use with the alternate profile option

[inconnu]

Re the icecat script, package name and profile directory:

I did a little more grepping and hacking, then recompiled.  The icecat 
script now shows the correct libs path.  Also, make -C 
xpinstall/packager now creates icecat-2.0.0.10-g1.en-US.linux-i686.tar.gz

But, the profile is still being placed in the wrong spot.

I'm uploading the latest icecat script, if you want to take a look:
http://incognu.com/downloads/icecat/icecat
and renaming the previous one icecat.old

This is the additional stuff I did:
Here is what I think made the difference (in addition to the previous 
stuff):
sed -i 's/MOZ_APP_NAME=firefox/MOZ_APP_NAME=icecat/g' 
$ICECATBUILDROOT/configure
I've also been doing the same thing to replace firefox with icecat in 
configure.in:

This is the whole messy script, which includes quite a bit more.  I 
think I should upload it instead of pasting it in here, since it's 
getting a bit long and I haven't had a chance to clean it up (sorry).  
Maybe it will give some ideas.
