Comment:

 I have fixed the search xml files based on the suggestions that
 cypherpunks made.  I am attaching a duck duck go (non onion) and a
 startpage xml file.  I chose not to use the .onion for speed purposes (3
 hops instead of 6) though it might be useful to include an onion as well.
 As for how to get these into the build: @mikeperry, I found that if you
 edit the list.txt file in the searchplugins directory in the firefox
 source (mozilla-release/browser/locales/en-US/searchplugins) and add a
 duckduckgo and startpage line those search engines will show up in the
 build.  I have attached a working list.txt file.
