Ed,

We are very excited to learn that you are working on stuff related to the
webclient project. Is there some place with more recent information than
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/blackwood/webclient/ on the project ?

We are working on a cross platform product, Windows, Mac & Linux and we have
compiled the Mozilla TestBrowser on Linux and it works fine. However, we
have problems with compiling the source code on Windows XP (the binaries
provided by Mozilla work fine). We still need to test it on Mac OS X.

Is this a suitable forum to discuss the compilation issues that we have run
into? 

Best regards
Magnus Hedberg
