With a static build on OpenVMS, the -version option doesn't display the version 
string.

Hrm.  We call do_GetService on the httphandler to get the version info so xpcom
needs to be set up before that service is available.

This should fix the problem if component.reg already exists.  I noticed that
-version does not work in normal builds either if component.reg had not been
created.  Unfortunately, regxpcom does not work in the static build so you must
run mozilla to create component.reg.  I'm sure we have a bug on that.

r=dbaron, although I wonder if the trace-malloc and jprof hooks should move
before this.
