Details

In order to prototype and test electrolysis, it would be really nice to be able to write an xpcshell script (or something similar) which could partly operate in the child process. For example: child: get value of some pref child: install pref listener parent: change pref value child: verify that pref listener fired I'm not exactly sure how to do this... we may need to spin the event loop at various point where we currently don't need to in xpcshell (or maybe we can require that the script spins the event loop manually as they do today). bent volunteered to try this, but if you get stuck feel free to bump it back to me.

bent, I know you committed something for this... did you document it anywhere? I'm trying to hack it and having some issues figuring out what to do next.
