I know very little about the XPI work you've done, I've read a
bit about it but I haven't really dug my hands in to it.  From what
I've read it looks pretty good.

I do have a question on how everything works, esp. with
gecko.plug.diff patch.

With the gecko.plug.diff patch plugins must be installed before
installing a gecko for them to be seen by gecko?
