Note to anyone who is going to try to compile their own Mozilla with
PyXPCOM:
- You need to apply patches from this bug:
    http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=129216
- These pages are out of date:
    http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Downloads/Komodo/PyXPCOM/
- To "turn PyXPCOM on" in the Mozilla build you need to have a line like
  this in your .mozconfig:
   ac_add_options --enable-extensions=python/xpcom 

Cheers,
Trent
