Not currently. With the new 'omnijar' work it may become easier, because you 
can embed all the mozilla resources into a single JAR and use that.

I question your motives: the only people who are going to care are people 
who look up the list of files in Explorer, and I really don't think that's 
an especially important case (worth spending coding/packaging time). A 
single file can help speed startup time, which is why we are working on it 
at all.
