(One potential gotcha is that Windows uses 
connectivity/Library_mozabdrv.mk instead of 
connectivity/Library_mozbootstrap.mk for the latter, which share code 
but use different #ifdef branches in the code, and mozabdr /is/ linked 
against moz.  So what would need verification is whether mozbootstrap 
works as a replacement for mozabdr for accessing Mozilla certificate 
data on Windows, in case we want to access any Mozilla certificate data 
at all on Windows -- but I assume we instead use some Windows API for 
certificate management there, anyway?)
