Correct me if I'm wrong, but it doesn't appear that mozilla actually 
needs to be installed for OOo-2.x-devel and it appears that instead it 
just automatically drags in mozilla off the web and compiles portions of 
OOo specifically using mozilla's headers.

Either way I'm trying a compile right now and will hopefully get through 
without a hitch (even though I'm getting a bit sort on disk space =\..).
