I made a lot of progress on this today. Just about ready to release a test
installer build.

Attachment: changes to mozilla toolkit to support the thunderbird installer

This patch modifies the toolkit installer to do the following:

1) When doing a custom install and the user selects "Browser Folder", the
folder pickker dialog willl now open up to the selected folder. This will
impact Firefox and Thunderbird.

2) Add a parameter called DistSubdir which folks writing an installer for the
new toolkit can set in their installer.cfg file. This variable defaults to a
value of bin (so no changes for Firefox here) and you can change it to whatever
directory under dist that you want. Thunderbird puts bits under
dist\thunderbird for packaging into the installer.

the installer is turned on and the nightly builds are generating installer
builds. Marking this fixed.
