 When testing the 6.0a5 updater using our own Linux64 build, the updater
 fails to run because it cannot locate Mozilla shared libraries:

  error while loading shared libraries: libmozsqlite3.so: cannot open
 shared object file: No such file or directory

 Code in toolkit/xre/nsUpdateDriver.cpp is supposed to add the Browser
 directory to LD_LIBRARY_PATH. We will need to see why that is not
 happening.
