As far as I can see, releases are distributed only as XPInstall archives.
The upstream source is kept only in CVS, which seems suboptimal
to me. Especially since cvs seems to hang if I attempt anything other than
a checkout from this repository while using the provided guest account.
I understand that not having the idl files for the XPCOM components is a
concern with this approach. Are there any other reasons why this is a
problem?
