Very little code is in common anymore. Classilla was based on 1.3.1, which
is 2003-era code. Much of it has changed completely, even the underlying
NSPR and XPCOM libraries. Although 9.3 adds some 1.7 and 1.8-based layout
code, it's still mostly 1.3.1 with up-patches.
The 10.4 Fx4 port (which now looks like it will be the only PowerPC build
of Firefox 4 available, for Leopard or Tiger), on the other hand, is truly
Firefox 4. Other than some tweaks to get it to build and restoring much of
the 10.4 UI support, it's the same code. I'll probably add bug 572000 to it
as a local commit, however, even if Mozilla doesn't accept it (it looks
likely now that they won't given all the other problems with beta 7, but hope
springs eternal), and eventually write basic gopher support that people can
update with Overbite if they want.

I'd be interested to hear myself. Kim? John?
