I pretty much abandoned that effort for TenFourFox; recent LLVM doesn't 
even work on Tiger OS X, and Rust needs thread-local storage on top of 
that. At this point it's consisting of keeping 45 alive with backported 
security and some feature patches. That might be what has to be done for 
the OS/2 version, except you could do it with ESR52, potentially.
