Update mozilla-1.9.1 to pick up NSPR 4.7.4.

mozilla-1.9.1 is currently using NSPR 4.7.3.  The bug fixes
in NSPR 4.7.4 are:
- bug 370766, bug 478687: 64 bit MAC OS X support
- bug 385583: NSPR makes incorrect assumptions about jmp_buf
              on ARM EABI systems
- bug 439144: Fix strict aliasing issues in prdtoa.c for gcc 4.4.
- bug 461502: Build NSPR shared libraries with the -Bdirect
              linker flag on Solaris.
- bug 465435: Add a comment to explain the check against
              FD_SETSIZE in _PR_MD_PR_POLL.
- bug 465629: Fix the comments about PR_EnumerateAddrInfo and
              PR_GetCanonNameFromAddrInfo
- bug 467951: Build NSPR on NetBSD with pthreads by default
- bug 469508: In prlink.c, errStrBuf is not thread-safe.
- bug 469744: Implement PR_OpenSemaphore for Mac OS X.
- bug 470528: NetBSD patches for mozilla/nsprpub/pr/include/md/_netbsd.{cfg,h}
- bug 473413: Build problem with spaces in path names
- bug 480740: When compiled by VC 2005, PR_ParseTimeString may
              crash on out-of-range time strings.

Bug 439144 is the most important bug fix.  Bug 480740 does
not affect Firefox official builds that use the custom
mozcrt19.dll, but affect personal Firefox builds that use
msvcr80.dll.

Is this dependent on the NSS update in bug 481968?

Comment 4

[Wan-Teh Chang]

No, this doesn't depend on the NSS update in bug 481968.
But since NSS 3.12.3 was tested against NSPR 4.7.4, it'd
be good to update to NSPR 4.7.4 at the same time.
