Tree/Build System reorg

• Discussed John Keiser and Chris Seawood's proposal to reorganise CVS directories and build system.
• We agree that things could be made a lot better and that 1.5 is a good time to do it.
• There will be ongoing implementation detail discussions between jkeiser and drivers/staff
• jkeiser and cls are planning to splash it and consult widely

• Tell jkeiser: yes, check in tinderbox3 and his mozilla tools
• Tell jkeiser + Ken Estes (tinderbox2 maintainer): mozilla.org apps look more likely to use 1 or 3 right now, but feel free to work to unify; we'd be supportive
• Myk to mail jkeiser

• Positive feedback, especially on NTLM auth
• Lots of press; people can now use it at work

• Release candidate after branching and last landings
• Not worth updating roadmap dates

• Possibly 1 new nasty bug, needs to be fixed in Seamonkey. Asa investigating
• Ben Goodger has removed the last Phoenix references — all landing today

• dmose to talk to granrose about switching compilers on Linux
