Details

This is a feature request to split a small binary with less runtime linking
requirements from xulrunner-bin for the registration stuff.
(--register-global / --unregister-global)

The reason is that xulrunner-bin shows the following deps at the moment:
(translated in SUSE package names)
libstdc++ expat pango xorg-x11-libs fontconfig freetype2 gtk2 atk glib2

As the register stuff is done in RPM's postinstall script, we have to make sure
that all of those components/packages are installed before xulrunner RPM can be
installed. This is calculated automatically and cause no technical problem but
we could avoid most of the needed stuff for a simple registration with file
operations.
