As indicated by the citation, I'm obviously interested.  However, I'm  
not that experienced at all at build systems, much less the megalith  
that is building Mozilla stuff.  As such, it would take me 100% of my  
available off-time to contribute meaningfully to the build system, I  
worry, and I'd have no time to actually develop my app.

Still, my experience yesterday was so miserable (can't get the newly- 
build XUL.framework's symlinks recreated in my bundle) that I'll give  
your Python build system a look before giving up.

I truly wish I could contribute meaningfully to this.  xulrunner 
+python has a chance to be very interesting, but the current barrier  
to entry is rather high.
