Hi Mark.  Sorry for the delayed reply.  I made the change you mention  
below, then fixed the BUILD_ID .ini problem after that, and was able  
to get a compile.

However, I ran into a problem all day yesterday getting back to  
getting a basic XULRunner compile "installed" on OS X. My usual ways  
of copying the framework and the xulrunner executable into my bundle  
didn't work.  I probably spent 8 hours yesterday wiggling the wires  
trying to get something to work.

So I'm actually farther backwards than when I emailed you.   While not  
not impossible, building my own XULRunner is certainly more  
challenging than I had expected.
