------------------------------------------+----------------------
Our mix of wrapper scripts and usage of CFLAGS/LDFLAGS when compiling on
Windows has grown over the years to a point where it gets confusing. We
should get back to sanity here.
We needed the wrapper scripts to pass down all required flags to the
depths of the Firefox build system, but meanwhile those scripts are used
almost everywhere and `CFLAGS`/`LDFLAGS` additionally sometimes.
One option boklm brought up would be to use the `CFLAGS`/`LDFLAGS` defined
in rbm.conf and enable those script only during Firefox's build.
Another just get rid of those wrapper script and fix the missing pieces in
Firefox if those are still there.
At any rate, we should document where we need them in the first place to
avoid lengthy digging in case someone is wondering in the future or now,
while looking at our build scripts.
