The answer I got from Gentoo's Mozilla Team when I proposed bumping it
to latest from the Firefox tarball was that "use npapi-sdk or
spidermonkey instead".
Some which have needed more than just npapi-sdk or spidermonkey have
happily migrated to gtkhtml, or webkit-gtk.
So I don't think it really makes sense to package and **maintain**
something upstream doesn't support, therefore I'm agreeing with the
Gentoo's Mozilla Team decision on this.
So no xulrunner anymore, even if that means losing 'chmsee' and 'kiwix'.
