Based on the [[SeaMonkey/1.9.1_Repository_Options]], I figured out how to build based on the directory structure of the "option A" listed there, but building on top of the Mozilla build system like in option B, for now with the source that is not part of mozilla-central pulled from the old cvs repository.

The SeaMonkey- and Thunderbird-specific parts of the code should go into a shared hg repository in the future. The directory structure also keeps the option alive to go for a full "option A" approach with a build system separate from Mozilla's, which might be the best way to go once we can switch SeaMonkey and Thunderbird to run on top of (a precompiled?) XULRunner.
