Preview of firefox 2.0 beta

[Ian Jackson]

I've been working on merging our changes to firefox into Debian's
version of 2.0 beta and have produced a package which mostly works.
I'm not uploading it into the archive yet because it still has some
bugs to be shaken out.

But, several people mentioned (eg, during the Ubuntu Development Team
meeting) that they'd like a preview of what I was working on so as to
get a head start with integration for Gecko embedders, themes, etc.

So, you can find my current state of play as of tonight here:

My upload is still running, so you should probably wait 30-40m from
the date of this message.  And there is no binary there yet; I'll
return later and upload an i386 binary when (and if!) it has built.

Ian.

    dropped by us, is retained in this changelog.
