 An easy way to allow incremental developer (re)builds is to provide a
 helper script that wraps up a non-Gitian compiled Firefox component into a
 gitian compatible input zip, so you can incrementally rebuild Firefox and
 only have to wait through a re-bundling step to produce a working Linux
 bundle that is otherwise as close to an official TBB as possible.

 We should also document this process in the Hacking file and/or Gitian
 README.
