One of us is looking at outdated information.  According to Ben Smedberg, the XULRunner maintainer, Firefox will not ship with a system-wide XULRunner.  http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2007-05-15/xulrunner-what-we-are-doing/  I'm actually not convinced we save much by disabling shared libraries.  (Although I certainly appreciate the effort.  I've done several by-hand builds of the Mozilla codebase, and it's not a simple thing by any means.)
