Yes, Thunderbird 1.0

So, as Thunderbird and Firefox are statically linked, this implies that
I would need to get at least the transformiix components built dynamically.

This raises the question:
   How to build dynamically so that the generated components are
   compatible with the Thunderbird 1.0 default build?

Which I half guessed.
All I expected to do (Before I realized I didn't have access to 
transformiix) was "document.evaluate(...)".
This probably implies that the module initialization has gone horribly 
wrong, and these 2 calls somehow prod it into a more meaningful state.
