I'm afraid this is already fixed in the experimental branch
for *all* gecko ports.

There are currently 4 copies of libxul (in CVS):
- mail/thunderbird, www/firefox (gecko-13)
- mail/thunderbird-esr, www/firefox-esr (gecko-10)
- www/kompozer (gecko-1.8)
- www/libxul (gecko-1.9)
Assuming the last two are gonna be deprecated installing two versions of
xulrunner currently causes a conflict with the following files:
bin/xulrunner
libdata/pkgconfig/libxul-embedding.pc
libdata/pkgconfig/libxul.pc
libdata/pkgconfig/mozilla-js.pc
libdata/pkgconfig/mozilla-plugin.pc
Forcing xulrunner to install the files under different names is trivial,
fixing dependent ports is less so. It'd also benefit libxul19 -> libxul
migration. And running on different engine version is not guaranteed to
work, e.g.
# application.ini for firefox-esr
[Gecko]
MinVersion=10.0.2
MaxVersion=10.0.2
The rest is simplifying gecko-app ports (firefox/thunderbird/seamonkey)
by throwing away most patches, shrinking Makefile size and fixing issues like
$ firefox
Could not read application.ini
Exit 1
which can be worked around with
$ /usr/local/lib/libxul/xulrunner-stub -app /usr/local/lib/firefox/application.ini
