Description
It should be noted that if NSS was usesd: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/postlfs/nss.html
...then you HAVE to pass the following options to evolution data server: --with-nspr-includes=/usr/include/nspr --with-nss-includes=/usr/include/nss
Otherwise evolution data server will fail to compile, as it can't find the proper NSS files it needs

Added clarification to the instructions.
- Explained that Firefox, TBird or Monkey can be used.
- Added the required parameters to enable NSS (dependency is
required, so might as well.
- Added a note saying what to do if you don't have NSS installed.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.

I'll go ahead and fix these two (the next numbered ticket as well as this one). Currently NSS is a recommended dep, but I'll add a note that you don't need it if you have SeaMonkey, Firefox or T-Bird installed.
Next, I'll place a prominent note before the configuration of the Evolution packages explaining about the NSS switches, and what you may have to do so that the packages will pick up the NSS/NSPR location.
