Comment 1 Jacek Pospychala CLA 2009-08-20 08:53:03 EDT 
XULRunner is currently packaged as two features:
1. XPCOM, consists of 1 multiplatform plug-in
2. XULRunner, consists of 3 platform-specific plug-ins

It was brought to our attention that XULRunner could actually be built as one plug-in plus 3 platform-spec. fragments.
This way consumer would always depend on only one plug-in and would safely assume that platform-specific fragment for current architecture is always installed.

There are still some questions:
- what would the main plugin contain? Nothing?
- what would be required for consumer to switch from 3 plug-ins to 1plugin+3fragments model?

I have committed changes to our xulrunner update site build scripts to build xulrunner in 1 plug-in + n features style
