This is a known "bug" with the software update infrastructure.  I didn't have
time when I was hooking the build systems into the server to read all of this
data from a variety of sources in what I would consider the best way, so I
embedded the information locally.  Unfortunately that means that whenever the
version is bumped I need to update (3 platforms) * (2 branches) = 6 build systems.

The short term fix will be implemented today.  I'll update those build systems.

The "best way" fix will be implemented soon and I'll use this bug to track some
of the patches.

Build systems updated for Firefox and Thunderbird on the Mozilla 1.8 branch.
