Hey Christopher -- is the new extension manager going to deal with the
updating-per-user-extensions-and-themese issue at all? Or is the idea going
to be to break that completely and ask people to install extensions
system-wide? 

Or, is there any way to mix-and-match gracefully?

Oh, on a totally 'nother topic -- I saw some work recently on python
bindings for XPCOM. Is that likely to make it into XULRunner in the, like,
predicatable future? That would so rock.
