[Gnash-dev] XPCOM support

[Rob Savoye]

  I've added minimal XPCOM support to Gnash for start the process of 
having the plugin be much better integrated into Firefox. This will work 
in addition to the existing NPAPI support. Among other things, this will 
also finally let Gnash and Javascript work together much better. While 
this XPCOM component builds, it's dependant header files are found, and 
it gets added to the xpi properly, there seems to be a problem with IDs. 
I can't seem to get the XPCOM component to register within Firefox. :-(

  So anyway, I'm hoping somebody with more XPCOM experience (I never 
looked at XPCOM till a few days ago) can see what my stupid mistake is 
that prevents this from registering. I've done the hard part, which is 
adding the config tests, the initial source and build code, and the XPI 
packaging support. It's all in trunk now, use --enable-xpcom and 
--enable-nspr4 to use.

  Having working XPCOM support will let Gnash handle things like 
Cookies properly, get more info about URLs, etc... all good.
