Details

We need to have a public "Resolve" method that will convert an nsFileSpec pointing to a symlink into the "real" file. Currently, on the mac this resolution always occurs which is wrong. On windows and unix there is no resolution and there is not functionality even to do this. In order to get nsDirectoryIterator working (ie. returning alias. see 10098), we need to have a public way to resolve alias.

Bulk moving to XPCOM, in preparation for removal of XP File Handling component. (XPFH has received two bugs in ~5 months, and is no longer in active use.)
