autoconf-2.13 is needed internally by firefox and they _need_ that specific version because something that they use there is not compatible with the new one. the third-party search can be remove. i said that i was trying to help parabola and they had that so remove it if you don't like it.

Hi wonder! Thanks for the contribution. I'm seeing right now. First question about autoconf-2.13: I implemented that patch because IceCat compile fine with last autoconf and I think we don't have to install more packages than necessaries. If some day IceCat won't build, we add autoconf 2.13 as well. Right? Second: Do you think that is necessary to add third-party search engines? I prefer to leave it default and user choice. icecat.sh was an old implementation. I want to see which implies.

here are some fixes for this build helping parabola: http://archlinux.ro/~ioni/parabola/icecat-3.6.3-1.src.tar.gz (note you may want to adapt Contributors) ChangeLog: * removed useless makedepends because those are part from base and base-devel groups. * removed autoconf-2.13.patch and added autoconf-2.13 to makedepeds * removed icecat.sh since is useless in this form as it has ICECATDIR pointing to a location that doesn't exits. it should be ICECATDIR="/usr/lib/icecat-3.6.3" but is working without it too. * changed $stardir/pkg and $startdir/src to $pkgdir and $srcdir

My pleasure fauno. Thanks to the great work of Jakub Schmidtke with firefox and xulrunner in [extra], and Muhammad and Evan that contribute to this package in the past.
