Smilies etc are hardcoded at the moment. Need to add prefs to add/delete/chnage
them.

The plan is to use JS regexps for that. Maybe create a JS module and read prefs
and exec regexps from there or (worse) hardcode them in JS.

Shaver said, this change would also improve performance. Maybe we can prove that
by feeding rginda's converter with several MBs of data at once.

This bug has several parts:
1. Creating a JS module, which converts chunks of text of arbitary length by
handing then to the JS regexp object. It also has to read prefs to know its
regexps.
2. Invoking the JS module from mozTXTToHTMLConv.
3. Resolve the escaping issues this bug arrises in mozTXTToHTMLConv (other
converter parts need unescaped input.)

Due to my lacking JS knowledge, I can't implement 1.
