Yes, that's what I meant by cvs, sorry. A current cvs checkout from trunk.

I tried those options (they're the ones from enigmail.mozdev.org) minus
the autoconf. I can build and run TB comm-central successfully with
these options as well as others.

My problem is building enigmail, which is why I think I'd better post
here than on mozilla.dev.builds. So, my questions really are:

- Which options do you use when you build enigmail.xpi? (probably the
ones above)
- Which combination of TB comm-central sha1 and Enigmail cvs rev. is
known to build and run well together?

I just want to make sure I use a known good combination for trying to
build my 64bit xpi.
