Soliciting Opinions on xB Browser "How To Build" doc

[Arrakis]

How about instead of Make, we use Scons? It should be easier for people
to read and modify.

Additionally, for the list of tor 3rd party devs...

I figured out how to implement the (more) secure persistent settings in
firefox. This will be useful for others trying a similar approach to xB
Browser.

1. Keep prefs.js with the normal user settings.
2. Load this user.js on top of it, to keep the network settings persistent.

This way the user can change their settings like cache, saving
passwords, etc, but not risk messing up their network settings.

Tested and it works.

Files below, including settings.

Steve
