I was thinking about this and realized, the port should probably do what the
default build does, and wondered why the default build doesn't build
ChatZilla. I found out that the reason its not a default part of Mozilla is
because the developer of ChatZilla wants it that way. So, I take it all back.
:) Lets just make it a knob as was suggested.
