Well I have managed to compile PSM on -CURRENT sometime around mid-October.
I managed to even prepare an .xpi package that installed allright when I
pressed the "Install PSM" button on the furnished HTML page. But it never
worked. Now, there are a couple of possible points of failure involved, but
one thing is sure: it never got as far as starting the mini http server in
it. But I could not investigate further at that time and now Mozilla does
not even work on -CURRENT (and as I hear on recent -STABLE) because the
binary segfaults as soon as it starts.

Note: I still have not seen an announcement telling that PSM is now built
from the public sources, and until then we can just speculate because they
use a different build procedure at Netscape involving tainted sources and
the BSafe RSA toolkit.
