This stuff seems really dodgy.  If we need to patch NSS, presumably we should
be committing changes to hg so we have a record of what's been done, even if we
have to roll things back later.

See bug 511743 as to why this was added.
Depends on: 511743
So we have this functionality, but it's currently unused and we've (likely) never used it for going on five years?
ISTR having seen it used.

You could remove this variable and replace if with topsrcdir everywhere it's used.

Since Vlad requested the functionality to be added in bug 511743, perhaps he has suggestions on whether this feature's time has come and gone.  Vlad?
