This sounds great!

This will make it significantly easier to get new Thunderbird contributors set up and hopefully reduce some of the build bustages TB currently suffers. (And also save me a few GB on my hard drive...which is a nice plus.)

Can't wait to put up patches that touch both toolkit and TB things without having to do separate patches and ensuring they land in the right order!

Thanks for working on this Joshua and Mark!
