Ok, I am letting those patches for my team to view. I will split your huge  
patch like one is external dependencies, java and portlint. The another  
one is with full of patches of warnings and bug fixes. Easier to follow up  
in CVS history and team to review.

Can you explain each patches like what they fix or what they are for  
beside those patch-warnings*? So far from what I understand:

patch-warnings* = Fix the warnings.
patch-bugzilla243151 = covered by visit bugzilla.
patch-gfx-src-gtk-Makefile.in = for nspr
patch-jsosdep = #elif defined(FREEBSD) not work?
patch-libm = get it to use system's libm
patch-libreg = ???
patch-liveconnect = for amd64 fix??
patch-oji-threads = ???
patch-sysnss = for nss
patch-xptcinvoke_x86_64_linux = for amd64?

I have updated firefox patch (not split yet). I merged with your new patch  
with mine, then created a diff against MarcusCom CVS (ports-stable  
module)'s firefox. Mine is just fix firefox-config and *.pc for nspr stuff  
to allow other apps to get compile with firefox/nspr.

I tested with vlc-devel's mozilla plugins, liferea (need liferea.diff) and  
full GNOME 2.11.x.

Cheers,
Mezz
