SeaMonkey 2.53.21 compiled in Easy Excalibur

Easy Excalibur has, so far, been built with the official SeaMonkey x86_64 tarball, which is rather big due to having lots of libraries builtin, instead of using system libraries.

I have compiled it, thanks to the LFS guys:

https://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/xsoft/seamonkey.html

...quite involved. One change, I had to use MOZBUILD_STATE_PATH:

# AUTOCONF=true MACH_USE_SYSTEM_PYTHON=1 MOZBUILD_STATE_PATH=/tmp/mozbuild ./mach build
# mv -f /usr/lib/seamonkey /usr/lib/seamonkeyBAK
# MACH_USE_SYSTEM_PYTHON=1 MOZBUILD_STATE_PATH=/tmp/mozbuild ./mach install

The previous .pet package is 76MB, now it is 65MB, so considerable saving.
