Dhiru,

I think the above instructions (maybe also with specific references of
eg. RPM and deb package names (the latter is "libnss3" and I think
"pkg-config" is needed too)) shold be added to some file in doc/

I recall some earlier format of yours also needed "special" libraries,
this too should be documented somewhere if it's not already.

And finally, the pkg-config stuff in CFLAGS et al still outputs a wad of
warnings when building without having nss. Maybe you forgot to fix it
because you don't see them :)  ...and worse, what happens if a user do
not even have pkg-config? This must be fixed before next Jumbo.
