Right now, No.
I think we need a work towards a Mozilla Runtime Environment (MRE_HOME),
but, If we must do 'mozilla banding build', we need 'self contained builds'.
In any case, this is more complex that you can expect. We need first
some definitions over mozilla ports and a working plan before any of
this can be taken.
But yes, you may expect share not only npsr, but even gecko or netwerk
between mozilla related apps after AVIARY-1.0
(firefox-1.0/mozilla-1.7.5/thunderbird-1.0).
