This patch has some bugs, specifically we stop looking for .manifest files in chrome/. I will fix that in a followup. It also probably breaks non-libxul builds because of ordering issues.
Another followup will actually fix our in-tree JS components and add build machinery for creating a proper components.manifest file.
nsIComponentRegistrar.
2. Converts callers of nsComponentManager::AutoRegister to use
nsIComponentRegistrar's autoRegistrar method.
3. Add nsIComponentRegistrar implmentation to nsComponentManagerImpl.
4. Rearrange nsComponentManager.cpp so that related methods are in the same
place.
5. Added a C-style function NS_GetComponentRegistrar so that getting the
registrar is easier in some places.
6. Added a nsISimpleEnumerator interface on PLDHashTableEnumeratorImpl. in
this way, the same base class can support both old style and new style
enumerations.
7. Fixed a nasty bug where unregistring factories will leave the contract id
hash with a dangling pointer. Now, when unregister is called we search the
contract id hash for entries which have the given doomned cid and remove them.
Bug 115853. r=dp@netscape.com, sr=rpotts@netscape.com
a) create a new nsIComponentManager with only four functions on it:
CreateInstance CreateInstanceByContractID GetClassInfo GetClassInfoByContractID.
b) rename the old nsIComponentManager to nsIComponentManagerObsolete.
c) fixes callers which use to access the nsIComponentManager for component
registration functionality. These callers will temporary use the
nsIComponentManagerObsolete interface.
d) Create a new API NS_GetComponentManager() which mirrors the
NS_GetServiceManager()
e) Perserves the old NS_GetGlobalComponentManager(). Note the cast usage.

interfaces. Since the C++ generated code upper-cases the method names, this
affects no C++ code, but only a few javascript methods.

later in the autoreg cycle.
- teach native component loader about deferred components
- add nsIComponentLoader::registerDeferredComponents
- teach component manager about deferred components
- made nsID::Parse take a |const char *| instead of a simple |char *|.
- move release of XPTI singletons until _after_ shutting down the component
manager to prevent re-initialization during JS component shutdown.
- category manager work: really delete from reg, start on enumeration
- use nsXPIDLCString instead of autoStringFree.
- fix nsRegistry to use allocator properly.
- cleaner memory management in nsFactoryEntry.
- capitalization fixed in nsIComponentLoader.idl
- clean up loader creation logic
- remove/disable lots of DEBUG_shaver noise
- added (disabled) warning about NSGetFactory usage
- move .so and .shlb higher up in the ValidDllExtensions list to marginally
speed up registration.
- added nsDll::GetRegistryLocation API
- properly export nsSupportsArray.h
- capitalization fixes in nsIEnumerator.idl
- added deferral to nsSample.js
