(I replied via email to Gijs already, but for the record:)

xpfe is pulled and built when building Firefox, at least parts of it
are. We don't propose to "fix" this before starting the Mozilla 2
migration.

BTW, in case it's not clear from the wiki docs and my origina Mozilla
2 blog, we will of course use the new repository's better branching
and merging to automate merges from the 1.9 CVS trunk into the Hg
repo, probably nightly to a copy of the trunk. From that, we'll
maintain a branch that periodically, based on known-good 1.9 status,
merges 1.9 and Mozilla 2. As noted in my blog, we anticipate many
experimental branches (for Tamarin work, Oink/Elsa-based refactoring,
etc.) and related integration branches feeding back into the main
Mozilla 2 branch.

In the course of the next few months, we should also find it easier in
Hg to rename and remove things, including xpfe if we can (sun-java
too). So Gijs' point is well taken.
