3nss containes the security libraries which are also part of moz. However nss is
4meant to be more current, that is it to be updated more often. This should be
5easier than doing this with moz.

11removed from mozruntime.zip (build in moz/solver/bin), they are removed from the
12lib directory (for example moz/unxlngi6.pro/lib), and the nss and nspr headers
13are also removed (inc/nss and inc/nspr). The nss libraries from the nss module
14are then added to mozruntime.zip.
15
16This also applies for moz_prebuilt. Therefore moz and moz_prebuilt must be build
17again after changes have been made to the libraries in the nss module.

19Also when moz was updated to use a newer version of mozilla, then one must make
20sure that new files which also belong to nss are not delivered and are removed
21from mozruntime.zip.

23Fips 140 and signed libraries
24-------------------------------
25Fips 140 mode is not supported. That is, the *.chk files containing the
26checksums for the cryptographic module are not delivered into solver and will
27not be part of the OOo installation sets.
