Re: API review agenda (10/31) - XPI dialogs

While adding signing support to XPInstall, I found that i needed to pass 
the cert name that signed the xpi file to the UI.  This is so that the 
user can see who we think signed the xpi file.  This name fits nicely in 
the packageList paramter of the methods on nsXPIDialogService.  Before 
we freeze this interface, I would like to change the nsXPIDialogService 
interface such that the organization name of the signer is one of the 
string in the "packageList" parameter.  If we don't do this, I am going 
to have to create a new interface that embedders are going to have to 
implement inorder to support signed xpi's.
