Comment(by salty-horse):

 I tested the patch on Firefox 3 and 4, but I didn't test it fully, so some
 things may break. I'm especially not sure about where I moved the app-
 startup code.

 The addition of <!em:unpack> to install.rdf is required because extensions
 aren't extracted by default.

 HTTPS-Everywhere expects the extension to be extracted because it tries to
 list the contents of the rules/ dir, and access the files using the
 nsILocalFile interface, which doesn't work with packed XPI's.

 If you're interested in using the packed XPI, both the built-in rules and
 the custom rules could be accessed via XMLHTTPRequest that will fetch them
 as !chrome:// and [ file://] URI's.
