mozilla-firebird-bin-0.7.ebuild

Just for people who need to be on the bleeding edge.  This ebuild is a complete
hack of the 0.6-r1 bin release.  I suggest using the bittorrent from
http://www.metashops.co.uk/mozilla/ and putting the tar.gz in
/usr/portage/distfiles/.  Then make the digest and copy the MozillaFirebird
shell script from the old 0.6-r1 files dir to the 0.7 files dir.

I completely commented out the truetype patch, as I didn't know if it was
necessary.  This ebuild is not pretty, but I'm sure there's a demand for
one.

Have fun, 
Rich

I've created my own hack of the 0.6.1 ebuild but it looks (and maybe works)
the same way as the one posted. Everything works fine but truetype fonts
are no-go. Don't have time to look at the patch...

I hope to see the source ebuild in portage soon. Can't wait for truetype
fonts and GTK2 support... :-)
