We've just added comm-central to DXR!

You can find it at http://dxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/ or through the new Switch Tree menu. The menu knows some tricks: it tries hard to preserve things like your browsing position and your search query while moving from tree to tree, so you can chase similar lines of inquiry across branches. This will become even more thorough in the future: for instance, pinning it so you can flit between branches while keeping your eyes locked at the same line of a file.

This marks the beginning of our conquest of All The Trees. More are coming: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=820531.

Thanks to Kendall Libby for getting the build going and Joshua Cranmer for sage advice on the build system. For now, it's indexing as if it were building SeaMonkey, but we'll be switching to Thunderbird as soon as we get that working. There are only about 16 files' difference between the two, so most of you probably won't notice.

With wishes of happy hacking,
Erik
