Can you give a short advice how to get this working, so interested people 
don't have to dig around on webpages to collect the required information ?
I.e. something like:
-use "svn co <someurl>" to get the mozilla sources
-you need this and that required library
-how to build it with the original buildsystem
-how to run the cmake translator script on it

Thanks
Alex
