I *think* that in debug builds, all you need is to have a component file
dated later than compreg.dat - the equivilent of 'regxpcom' is run each time
the app is started.  In release build, I believe regxpcom must be executed
manually - although in release builds, the most common way of getting
installed is via a .xpi, and I believe the JS code there can force
registration at install time.

Or something like that :)  Hopefully one the ActiveState guys can correct me
if their memory doesn't match mine.

Cheers,

Mark
