that is true, but...

... what it actually means is that in contemporary releases it's no
longer possible to build the mozilla stuff from source (hence no need
for the tools); what --enable-win-mozab-driver does instead is to
download and unpack pre-built binaries and put them into the
installation set.

of course if we had somebody implement native Outlook / Outlook Express
address book driver we could remove that too :)

that is indeed funny to have both of these in there.

that's a good question - Thorsten, why isn't Win-x86 at 42 doing uploads?
