OK. Hopefully this can be done such that it does not remove
Mozilla 1.0 from the locker. I realize there are some subtle issues
with copying multiple versions of netscape to local disk, but
hopefully those will not be insurmountable.

From the user perspective, there seems to be no point duplicating
the work of the Mozilla locker. I don't know if it would be
advantageous for you (as the infoagents maintainer) to have experience
installing/building/whatever-ing Mozilla 1.1 before the time to upgrade
to it came around....

Well, we do have that.
