Things are clearer after reading this thread on n.p.m.xpfe:

  http://www.deja.com/viewthread.xp?AN=621838325

except for packages not using a manifest.rdf file. I assume the following will
work:

 chrome/packages/zopestudio/
     content/
     skin/
     locale/
         en-US/
         .../

But with a manifest.rdf (I am looking forward to examples) there is an extra
level:

   chrome/packages/zopestudio/
       manifest.rdf
       zopestudio/
           content/
           skin/
           locale/
               en-US/
               .../

Hyatt, can you confirm/clarify? If this doesn't work like this yet (Seth seems
to suggest so in another posting), when will it work?

mimic chatzilla.

[David Hyatt]

you can now install yourself.  check out chatzilla.

Checked in fixes to the xmlterm chrome, following chatzilla's example. xmlterm
works now. Thanks to all for the info on the chrome mods.

rginda: Does chatzilla install chrome twice? For example, content seems to be
installed both in irc/Makefile and in irc/xul/content/Makefile (see bug 34416).
No harm is done, since the same content is installed.

Comment 8

[Robert Ginda]

no, I don't think so.  irc/content/Makefile.in only installs the overlays and
the prefs (probably in the wrong place), irc/Makefile.in installs the guts. 
ChatZilla started off having only one makefile in the irc directory and I;ve
been trying to move away from that ever since.  I'll probably finish breaking it
up into one-makefile-per-directory after the tree opens.

In other news... ChatZilla doesn't start in release builds.  It seems that the
chrome isn't found.  No "IRC CHat" in the tasks menu, and ./mozilla -chat just
hangs.  Hyatt?
