Say an interested party wanted to create the "Installed Successfully"
toast-like alerts (for supported platforms). Straight (non-xul) js
DOM-forging (creating a div, populating it, etc), seems the way to go
- one could make a pretty, semi-transparent, round-cornered little
piece of bread, no? But that's going to be a chewy chunk of
javascript, what with all the style attributes and toast-pop animation
and whatnot. Would it be criminal to put it all in a function (or
three) and toss said function(s) into utils.js?

If not, then where might it unobtrusively be squirelled? Its own little file?
