Thank you for those changes, especially for removing the evilness that re=
quired moving the sgml stuff around.
My primary problem remains, though. Firefox does not load "libnstidy.so".=
 It is not even mentioned in "compreg.dat". The only way I managed to mak=
e Firefox acknowledge its existance was by copying it into the plugins fo=
lder. Which obviously causes an error, since tidy is not a plugin.

One thing I recognized, though is that "install.js" contains the line:

const X_COM_FILE =3D "libnstidy.so";

whereas "install.rdf" does not mention the library. Is there a way to exp=
licitly declare the existence of a library to Firefox? I have found no me=
ntion of that in various Firefox-extension tutorials.
