I'm curious...  I know absolutely nothing about XUL, but I think it's what
Mozilla is written in?  Anywho, is it possible to write an app that would
run in Mozilla and store all the data in SQLite?  I do some web
development and when I want to locally install my app then it means
installing Perl or PHP, Apache, PostgreSQL, MySQL, or SQLite, installing
Perl modules, configuring Apache, configuring the db, etc., etc., etc.

It would be sweet if I could simply use Mozilla for the framework of my
program along with maybe Javascript, HTML, and SQLite, and not worry about
a web server at all.  I could then give someone my program and it would be
relatively easy to get running on almost any platform.  Possible?
Thanks,
