AFAIK the headers are only used for the nsplugin, so that's actually two cases.
mozab uses a heabvily patched seamonkey anyway and uses those internal(!) mozilla
headers either way.

ACK. Which probably can reuse much of the old --with-system-mozilla
(pkg-config for mozilla-plugin.pc etc, xulrnner detection etc.)

ACK.

I don't think so, it's broken right now in master... If we did it for all
that decoupling stuff, yes, but now it's too late.
