This task is the first one of the application. ETA ~end august/early september


Todo / objectives to be validated:

- check the sources (one milestone)

- understand how cvs manages the sources ( CVS dirs)

- configure step : find information, be able to modify configure.in

- bootstrap

- build mozilla archive separately :

-- file an issue for a breaker on AMD64 (aka x86_64)

-- fix a build issue (bad compiler option maybe)

-- understand how patches are used at buildtime

- modify the makefile, and start building seamonkey ( basic patch provided )

- define a strategy for the migration

- modify configure (replace mozilla checking with seamonkey checking)

- apply the changes progressively ( and propose tests for the QA)

- propose patches to commit the changes in several cws

- verify it works on other ports ( Mac OS X , windows )

- verify the crashes are fixed (see relevant issues)
