+Relation between nss, moz, moz_prebuilt
+---------------------------------------
+nss containes the security libraries which are also part of moz. However nss is
+meant to be more current, that is it to be updated more often. This should be
+easier than doing this with moz.
+
+If nss is build depends on an environment variable (ENABLE_NSS_MODULE=YES) which
+is per default set to YES. In this case nss is build before moz. The nss
+libraries/lib files/headers built in moz are then not delivered. Otherwise they
+would overwrite those from nss. That is, the nss libraries build in moz are
+removed from mozruntime.zip (build in moz/solver/bin), they are removed from the
+lib directory (for example moz/unxlngi6.pro/lib), and the nss and nspr headers
+are also removed (inc/nss and inc/nspr). The nss libraries from the nss module
+are then added to mozruntime.zip.
+
+This also applies for moz_prebuilt. Therefore moz and moz_prebuilt must be build
+again after changes have been made to the libraries in the nss module.
+
+Also when moz was updated to use a newer version of mozilla, then one must make
+sure that new files which also belong to nss are not delivered and are removed
+from mozruntime.zip.
+
+Fips 140 and signed libraries
+-------------------------------
+Fips 140 mode is not supported. That is, the *.chk files containing the
+checksums for the cryptographic module are not delivered into solver and will
+not be part of the OOo installation sets.
+
+The *chk files do not match the libraries because we change the rpatch.
+
+libfreebl3
+----------
+Porting to other platforms may require to deliver other variants of
+libfreebl*. The library name varies according to the platform. Changes need to
+be made to
+ooo/moz/extractfiles.mk
+ooo/moz/zipped/makefile.mk
+sun/moz_prebuilt/zipped/makefile.mk

+Windows builds of nss
+---------------------
+To build mozilla on windows you'll need the mozilla build tools
