Dude, are you deaf, or just plain stupid? First you acknowledge that I
don't want an XPI  floating around, then you confirm that yours did
not work, then you *send it out*?

Please, everyone, do not use this XPI.

Now, wrt your troubles. I specifically advised you how to use it
without building. It's clear that you are having a very different
experience than I did, unless it's your opinion that I'm just lying
and none of those features actually work for me. So logical next steps
would have been to: a) try it the way I described, and b) ask
questions about what could be wrong. Note that nowhere in those
choices is there an option c) send out a whiney email with a broken
build attached.

I'm guessing that you checked out from the HEAD instead of the v0_6
branch. An understandable mistake, since the last time I said that 0.6
was on v0_6 branch was several weeks ago and you probably weren't
listening. The HEAD got corrupted last night when I was checking this
stuff in and I forgot to mention that. Sorry about that. But a quick
look at the recent checkins would have helped you figure it out, not
to mention simply asking.

Please, use your head. Ask questions. Do not send out any more broken
code for people to unsuspectingly download.

Sorry to rant, but this is frustrating. This is no different from any
other open source application. There are checkins and there are
releases. Checkins do not constitute a release for a reason: they
might not work. If you want to work with the checkins, you do so from
source. And if your build does not work, or your configuration doesn't
work, or somebody broke the build, you ask for help.
