thanks

attached is a patch implementing a change in install-xpi that
automatically finds files named defaults/preferences/*.js and moves them
into /etc/mozilla-extensions/, with a corresponding symlink.

if the file has a generic name (defaults.js, prefs.js, or
preferences.js) then the configfile is named after the package (e.g.
xul-ext-fubar.js.  Otherwise, it should retain its name as created by
the upstream extension author.  in either case, the link pointing back
to it retains its expected name.

Let me know if there are any problems with the patch.

Regards,
