243794 - Allow Linspire (aka LindowsOS) specific build config for Nvu

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(SeaMonkey :: Build Config, defect)

Description

[Daniel Glazman (:glazou) (not active in Mozilla any more)]

Linspire (ex-LindowsOS) has a few specific characteristics that are very
important and visible to the users : there is a "My Documents" folder in the
home folder of every user, images are stored in a given place and so on.
When building Nvu on Linspire, we need to comply with those choices.
So we need a LINSPIRE config option / variable for ifdef'ing some portions
of the code (very rare) and some portions of the chrome (more likely).

fix #1

At a minimum, this check should be in the platform-specific section (line
1597+).

However, this messes with cross-compiling, because it's using a host flag to
control target options. I would prefer a configure option like
--enable-linspire-features
