The problem may be the lack of an XPCOM registry in the directory pyxpcom
uses.  When it initializes XPCOM, it assumes the directory of nspr4.dll (or
possibly a different one depending on the patch version) is the xpcom system
dir.  I suspect that in some build configurations this is not true.  When
run from Mozilla, Mozilla has already initialized xpcom, so this code is not
hit.

You could try hacking the code to print the xpcom directory Python is using,
and checking that it is incorrect.  If so, then hard-code in the correct
directory and see if it works.  If it does, we need to work out a better way
than the hard-coding :)
