Note:

- Some time ago I read that icecat can not be included officially in Fedora
because a "Firefox browser" already exists. I wanted to package it anyway, if
you think icecat is still useless in Fedora, please help me to check this .spec
file at least. I can also close this review without to obtain the approval of
this package.

- Icecat building considers both browser and xulrunner compilation. The x86 and
x86_64 RPMs are built in about 7 hours; the armv7 one in few hours plus.  

x86/x86_64 builds: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6344714
armv7 build: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6354555

I don't know if I can change something to speed up the compilation.

- Part of the spec file (all changes on lang files) is taken from the Firefox
spec file in Fedora.

- This package contains rpaths. Internal libraries for this package are present
in the %{mozappdir} directory and this should be passable.
