* Add support for a "medium integrity" launch shim ("broker"), independent of the integrity level of the main Firefox process. Initially both the shim and the Fx process will run at a medium integity level. The shims purpose is to setup the future launch and OS integration of a low integrity Fx process, as well as facilitating better OS integration, including better, more secure protocol handling, application startup, and a more reliable DDE interface.
* Augment the functionality of the broker so that a low integrity instance of Firefox can interact with higher integrity os systems and applications.
