>Description:
The various Mozilla project ports have strange interactions around libmozjs.so (and presumably other bits).  This results in untracked dependencies, incorrect JS library versions, and in at least one case, build errors.

If lang/spidermonkey is installed, www/seamonkey will not build

If www/libxul is installed, both www/seamonkey and www/firefox will link with the libxul version of libmozjs.so and the correct version will not be installed - the header files however are installed - and mismatch the current libmozjs.

If libxul is later removed, it then breaks the Mozilla browsers.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Install www/libxul port
2) Install www/firefox port
3) pkg_delete libxul-1.9.2.17_1

Firefox is now broken.
