asm.js code will be precompiled when installed via `navigator.mozApps.installPackage` but not when pushed from app manager.  Requires additional field in manifest. [0]

Alex, to support this I guess we'd need to change the webapps actor install path?

Yes, we would most likely need to add a call to this method from webapps actors install request:
  http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/apps/Webapps.jsm#1987
  ScriptPreloader.preload(app, newManifest);

But hopefully... one day... we would just call some install method of webapps.jsm,
instead of having a copy paste of it :s
I see a langpacks thing that we don't have in webapps actor either...
