part of startup to advance a progress display, per bug 35866.
I did not get the code actually reviewed, but I discussed it, and tested it
for breakage. Other developers must register for the observer before it can
be ascertained whether it performs as advertized.
in so many different directories, that I think it's the best way.
I've pulled and clobber_all'd my tree and got

The heart of this checkin is a change in the signature and symantics
of NS_InitXPCOM.
The new signature is
extern NS_COM nsresult
NS_InitXPCOM(nsIServiceManager* *result, nsFileSpec* binDirectory);
I filed a bug for this problem:
b=23157
The original manifestation of this bug was in mozilla/netwerk/protocol/res/src/nsResProtocolHandler.cpp It used the current process directory to find resources, which is not correct when the current process is not mozilla.exe.
I have added a new type to nsSpecialSystemDirectory, Moz_BinDirectory, and made nsResProtocolHandler use that value.
