[Fedora-packaging] bundling of jemalloc

Firefox and xulrunner are bundling their own copy of jemalloc (try
"strings /usr/lib64/xulrunner/xulrunner |grep jemalloc", or similarly
with /usr/lib64/firefox/firefox-bin).

Why isn't this recorded in the RPM provides (and why is there no mention
of jemalloc in
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:No_Bundled_Libraries)?  Are
there any other known cases outside Mozilla products?  I found bug
788500 about unbundling jemalloc from redis.

Thanks,

Paolo
