-This should build out of the box with the mozilla cvs source code.
-It's not close to being functional, but it does build.
-
-Here's what I do to build this:
-
-In the mozilla top level directory run "autoconf".  This will create
-the configure script.  You can then create a directory, inside or out
-that will contain the build object files and final binaries.  cd into
-that directory and run "configure" with the flag "--enable-fe=gnome".
-This should create all of the directories and Makefiles.  From there
-you should be able to type "make" and take a nap for an hour or so.
-
-Here is an example:
-
-bash$ cvs -z3 co mozilla
-[ checkout deleted ]
-bash$ cd mozilla
-bash$ autoconf
-bash$ cd ..
-bash$ ../mozilla/configure --enable-fe=gnome
-[ configure deleted ]
-bash$ make
-
-That should be it.  Anything else is an error.  Happy hacking!
