Thanks, Changes 4v4w3w

Thanks for your work on this, Ken. Smile I updated your launcher quite a bit. It now uses a uniquely named xulrunner.exe and PAL instantiates it directly, so we won't need to worry about other XULRunner apps. It also uses the -profile switch (ala Firefox et al) so we don't need to move the settings back and forth. I added custom installer code to update existing installs of the dev test to the new location as well.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!

Thanks John 164j4g

This has been my most ed dev test, and have been looking forward to it going official. I'm sure there are a few others who will be happy this is official now, too.

I'm looking into the changes you've made to see what I can see. I was always a bit wary of having a predefined profile as I did, but even knowing that it was built on a stripped-down Firefox I hadn't thought to use the -profile switch.

One small thing, you are recreating the \Data\Pencil and \Data\Local directories after moving the profile and deleting them. Any reason for this? If it isn't necessary I wouldn't worry about it, we can handle them when the next release drops.

They are still backed up and restored from local on the off-chance an extension or something uses them. I don't think they are necessary and we can drop them on next release, though.
