Emilio is working on that.  There were some tweaks needed to the
rustc-mozilla packages I prepared in order to support his work.  As of
this morning he identified some small additional tweaks, but he was able
to work around the issues in order to get a FF build completed.  As soon
as he gives me the thumbs up, then I will make the final tweaks and
upload the rustc-mozilla packages.
