I'd _like_ to do that, unfortunately though virtually all of it
is sharable, some is not. For example between the sunos and bsdi
communicator 4.5 distributions:
Differing files:
netscape The main binary - fine, libexec
vreg Registration program - libexec should be ok
Netscape.ad App defaults - do not want to install in X11
movemail Hmm - probably expects this in $MOZILLA_HOME
Only in sparc version:
netscape_dns No worries
libjsd.so.1.0
dynfonts/libTrueDoc.so
plugins/libnullplugin.so
I think spraying the files around is going to cause more pain than
its worth - particularly as netscape seems so happy with $MOZILLA_HOME
