     27Always check the mail/config/mozconfig file in the source tree for
     28any changes to the options passed to configure. This file shows the
     29default build used by Mozilla. BLFS adds to this, but the values here
     30should be in our setup. The stuff about ActiveX can be ignored as
     31that is Windows crap only.
