Purpose:
  To build the mozilla self-extracting installer and its corresponding .xpi files
  given a mozilla build on a local system.

Requirements:
1. Perl needs to be installed correctly on the build system because cwd.pm is used.
   Preferably, perl version 5.004 or newer should be used.
   
2. Mozilla\xpinstall\wizard\windows needs to be built.
  a. run nmake -f makefile.win from the above directory


Build.pl requires no parameters.  When it finishes, it will have created a
temporary staging area in mozilla\dist\stage to build the .xpi archives from.
The self-extracting installer (mozilla-win32-installer.exe) will be delivered to:
  mozilla\dist\win32_o.obj\install

The .xpi archives will be delivered to:
  mozilla\dist\win32_o.obj\install\xpi

Mozilla-win32-installer.exe does not require the .xpi archives once its been created
because they have been packaged up in the .exe file.

The .xpi archives will also be copied to:
  mozilla\dist\win32_o.obj\install

This is so setup.exe can install them.  Setup.exe is usually run when debugging the
installer code.  This makes it easier to debug.
