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'.
