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.

Revising nsIChannel to allow for overlapped i/o. This consists of three parts:
1. Factoring nsIChannel into a protocol specific part, the nsIChannel, and a socket specific, the nsITransport.
2. Derive the nsIChannel from a nsIRequest.
2. Changes the notification system from necko and the URILoader to pass the nsIRequest interface instead of nsIChannel interface.
This goal stems from wanting to be able to have active AsyncRead and AsyncWrite operations on nsSocketTransport.
This is desired because it would greatly simplify the task of maintaining persistent/reusable socket connections
for FTP, HTTP, and Imap (and potentially other protocols). The problem with the existing nsIChannel interface is
that it does not allow one to selectively suspend just one of the read or write operations while keeping the other active.
