It's a bit stalled, because:
	* The mozilla maintainers didn't respond yet.
	* Explicit requires are a bit problematic so conflicts would be
	  better. I asked on the fpc list for help [3], but no answer
	  yet too...

I don't want to work on drafting something, that will never be included
so I'd like to wait at least for an answer of fpc.
(But don't know when/if that will happen.)

Or does someone here on this list know how to code automatic conflicts?
That would be the cleanest solution...
