I figure this has something to do with my components/ directory and the
compreg.dat file ?
The contents of this file is simply :
    Generated File. Do not edit.

    [HEADER]
    Version,0,5

    [COMPONENTS]
    rel:xpcomsmp.dll,1127748372015

Also, the contents of the components/ dir is merly 16 files :
    compreg.dat
    MyServce.dll
    nsSample.js
    proxyObject.xpt
    proxytest.xpt
    tdynamic.dll
    xpcomsample.xpt
    xpcomsmp.dll
    xpcom_base.xpt
    xpcom_components.xpt
    xpcom_ds.xpt
    xpcom_io.xpt
    xpcom_thread.xpt
    xpcom_xpti.xpt
    xpconnect.xpt
    xpti.dat

I compared this with the nightly seamonkey build, where the compreg.dat
file is 156kb, and there's a load of files in the components/
directory.
Which are the minimal requirements for running the shell ?
And how do I add new components/remove them. I suspect that I can't
just copy/delete them - I'd have to do something with the compreg.dat
file aswell ?
