[ale] Compiling Galeon

[Jim Philips]

Only once did I go through the agony of compiling Mozilla from source and 
after three hours or so of compiling, resolved never to do it again. And I 
don't remember if lgtkembedmoz was included. So, I can't tell you on that. 
But I have these packages installed for Mozilla:
mozilla-devel-1.0rc1-0
mozilla-1.0rc1-0
mozilla-nss-1.0rc1-0
mozilla-mail-1.0rc1-0
mozilla-psm-1.0rc1-0
mozilla-nspr-1.0rc1-0
With these, Galeon installs with no problem.
