Re: Orca and Firefox 3 CVS build

[Willie Walker <William Walker Sun COM>]

I finished taking a look at this, and it turns out I could take the file
directly.  I checked it in and gave you thanks in the ChangeLog.  :-)

I now need to take a bit more of a look at ways to do some other things
in BrlAPI that the BrlAPI guys don't like us doing (e.g., the way we
default to TTY 7), but I'm not sure I know how to fix.
