I compiled the whole mozilla trunk to get the xpidl compiler (tooook
forever!!! do you want to me to put it in svn?), me thinks that we can
do a way better job with this build system... for example, we don't need
to create the IDL everytime, but only when the contract something changes.
Also, I think that the build should be ant-only and allow people to
build the thing without eclipse.
WDYT?
