This makes adding a python xpcom object to a category easy.  prior to patch, you had to override registration and do it yourself.  This allows:

class pyXPCOMSomethingOrOther:
    _com_interfaces_ = [components.interfaces.nsIDoesntExist]
    _reg_desc_ = "My cool pyxpcom object"
    _reg_clsid_ = "{asdfasdf-asdf-asdf-asdf-asdfasdfasdf}"
    _reg_contractid_ = "@ask.com/whatthisdoes;1"
    _reg_categories_ = [
        ("some-category", "My Custom Name"),
        ("app-startup", "Create me as a service on startup", True),
        ]

Any chance we could make the test component exercise this?
