Patch Revision History:

2007-03-09 (v1.0.0)
This update will download the binary distribution for Mozilla's Thunderbird product and install the package under the "/var/nst/opt" directory. A symbolic link will be added such that one should be able to use: "/usr/bin/thunderbird" to launch the application. Unfortunately, we don't have a good mechanism for automating the updating of the fluxbox menu system yet (you'll need to edit $HOME/.fluxbox/menu by hand).
