== Hints ==

* This is a shell script that can be used to automatically package the extension in one xpi file:

 rm extension.xpi
 mkdir -p build/chrome
 cd chrome/extension
 zip -r extension.jar .
 mv extension.jar ../../build/chrome
 cd ../..
 cp install.* build
 cd build
 zip -r extension.xpi .
 mv extension.xpi ..
 cd ..
 rm -rf build
