after having a short look it seems like the makefile is missing an include path
for -I/usr/include/xulrunner - at least hacking it into the Makfile fixes this
Problem and the package builds nicely.

It seems like pkg-config's output has changed as with the latest libxul-dev
version:

 testing:
 pkg-config --cflags xulrunner-plugin
 -I/usr/include/xulrunner/java -I/usr/include/xulrunner/plugin
 -I/usr/include/xulrunner -I/usr/include/xulrunner/xpcom
 -I/usr/include/xulrunner/string -I/usr/include/nspr  -- 

 unstable:
 pkg-config --cflags xulrunner-plugin
 -I/usr/include/xulrunner/java -I/usr/include/xulrunner/plugin
 -I/usr/include/nspr  Michael Ablassmeier

Mike: can you give us a short pointer wether this is the packages,
pkg-config, or libxul-dev's fault?

bye,
