You should now get conkeror from cvs trunk.  The branch called
`conkeror-xr' was only a temporary branch to use until we were sure
this was the right way to go with the program.  The `conkeror-xr'
branch will not be updated anymore since it was merged into trunk.

You will have to make build.sh executable.. there doesn't seem to be a
way to set file permissions in CVS.  (Perhaps if I remove and re-add
the file?  Anybody know about this?)

The command to install to the prefix /usr/local is: ./install.sh -build

The `conkeror' binary in $PREFIX/lib/conkeror/ is actually just the
xulrunner-stub binary.  xulrunner-stub looks in its own directory for
`application.ini', so this is why this binary is in lib/conkeror.
This is the correct way to install a xulrunner app.

Hope this helps,
