This library should only export what's necessary. To make this work, proper NS_BASE macros need to be defined so that functions annotated with this macro will be properly exported on all platforms. I believe this is the reason that all globals are currently exported, because the proper annotation wasn't done. The other alternative is to use a .exp file, which is a pain to maintain.
Setting all current Open/Normal to M4.

I do not believe this to be an xp_com specific thing. This looks Mac specific, Steve can you look into this?

It is both a Mac and XPCOM issue but we're not going to address it for M4

Pushing back to M7 so I can find out what the XP issues are (I'm not certain but I think we need a fix from CW Pro 5, supposedly due in the M7 timeframe, to make this work on the Mac)

Not critical for beta, deferring. Patrick, was my comment regarding Pro5 accurate or can we address this issue while still using Pro4?

Assigning to sfraser and cc:'ing scc. Is this something we want to do with the next round of mods to the Mac build system?

Base shared lib is gone, and XPCOM is exporting by #pragma, so this bug is dead.
