If all you care about is JS/CSS/XUL/XBL then you only need to build once
with flat file format and then you can edit your JS/CSS/etc repeatedly
without having to do another build.

There is a parallel discussion somewhere about shipping non-omni-jar
builds so that volunteer contributors don't need a build environment
before they start hacking the front end.
