I have a list of packages updates needed for FF3. They are not needed 
for compilation it, but to help me hunt segfaults. I have segfault for 
version 2.0.0.19 and higher, same for TB 2.0.0.21. FF3 was working of 
Solaris 10 and the old blastwave stack.

Actually these updates would help me because most of the time the answer 
i find are "first updates your libs, then come back and talk about your 
segfault problems".

The packages needed for compilation are not yet released, they are new 
packages i took from Xorg project. I already did a few, i have about 8 
more to submit.

Xfce is a bit different. I have about 7 packages to compile in order, 
each one depending on another. Even if i have a dedicated zone, there is 
always a risk of side effect to other packages. Thus it is not so safe 
to go out of the standard way.

Sure. BTW i also always create mantis entries for that (and i appreciate 
to notice that other are really fast to process these ! thanks guys)

cheers
