automate leak / bloat measuring, tie into tinderbox

talking with varada and mscott, here's what we should do:

add this in conditionally, using overlays.

do it all as an extension.

see mozilla/mailnews/extensions.  I suggest you add
mozilla/mailnews/extensions/automation

see how mscott's did BUILD_SMIME, mozilla/mailnews/extensions/smime

then, the tinderbox can be tweaked to build with BUILD_MAIL_AUTOMATION, and it
will only affect that build, not release builds or developer builds.

as for what to do in your overlay, you'll have some simple .xul and some non-
simple .js

in .js will register an event listener for "load" (see threadPane.js)
and then, on load, set up a timer that does the first action.

using timers, you can drive the app.

for starters, just get it to exit 20 seconds after startup.

once you got the basics working, you can extend it.

I tried it out, and it does the trick.  nice work.

what's left:

1) linux build, see mozilla/mailnews/makefiles and mozilla/config/config.mk
2) working with mcafee to hook this up to tbox.

I'm pretty sure this got checked in since we have the mailnews tinderbox builds,
so marking fixed.
