We need to intercept apple events in komodo and handle them in a way apropriate
for our application.  Currently the HandleOpenOneDoc event will create a new
window (or tab I guess) and open the url in that, but in Komodo things are
different.  The patch I'm attaching is my interim workaround.  I'd like
suggestions as to how this should be done in order to get it into the moz code base.

I think the correct way to do this would be to have the XRE contain some generic
event->handler mapping code, and then clients of XRE register (via XPCOM) some
implementation for the events they want to handle.

At this point I don't think that I would accept a patch for this even if it showed up. Let's focus on more urgent/important things.
