I've been running into a serious problem with my Verbosio project, so if
anyone has about 20-60 minutes where they could help me out, I'd
appreciate it.

I can't file this as a Bugzilla bug yet, because I can't confirm whether
the bug is mine (Verbosio), mine (XUL Widgets), XULRunner's, or a
combination of the three.

Steps to reproduce:

(1) Have a trunk build of XULRunner handy.
(2) cvs -d :pserver:gu...@mozdev.org:/cvs login
cvs -z3 -d :pserver:gu...@mozdev.org:/cvs co verbosio
cd verbosio/src
export MOZ_DIST=(path_to_dist/bin, must have xpidl compiled, and end in
a slash)
export MOZ_SRC=(path_to_mozilla source directory)
perl make-project.pl

Note there will be a request for a CVS password "guest". Just follow
the instructions.
(3) Switch to your XULRunner directory and launch it with:

xulrunner (path to checkout directory)/verbosio/objdir/application.ini

(4) Tools -> Add-ons

Expected results:
Two extensions listed, jsLib and XUL Widgets.

Actual results:
One extension listed, jsLib.

Note that neither jsLib nor XUL Widgets's websites directly support
Verbosio; the install.rdf files in both are "hacked" by make-project.pl
to support Verbosio.

Help!

Mine (Verbosio). My make-project.pl script was hacking at a flat-chrome
version of XUL Widgets, and the wires got crossed. It works fine with
the jarred-chrome version.
