No, it means that the Galeon binary, on disk and when loaded into memory,
would be Bloody Huge, and when other things that would normally share this
(Galeon view in Nautilus, Mozilla itself) would load their own Hunk Of
Mozilla. This would be, to borrow a claim to fame, batshit insane.
If you're really interested in solving this neatly, doing the work to split
Mozilla in to 'mozilla' and 'libmozilla' or even 'libgecko/libgtkmozembed'
would be really useful. However, whether upstream would accept it is
entirely up to the Gods.
