Comment:

 `bug_33626_v6` (https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/gk/tor-browser-
 build.git/commit/?h=bug_33626_v6&id=288efe34fbcdbc8ea69184585646440c89f5b2d1)
 contains a patch for review.

 Ideally I'd like to have the `get-moz-build-date` either in the `commons`
 project and then refer to that from the `firefox` and `geckoview` config
 file or, less ideally, just have a symlink in `geckoview` pointing to the
 script in `firefox`. I got neither of that to work. Maybe boklm has an
 idea about how to do that.

 I moved forward with splitting up `firefox` and moving the mobile part out
 into `geckoview`. I suspect this will at least help us during the time
 where desktop and mobile Gecko versions are not in sync. Not sure how
 useful it is in the long term, though.

 I put a patch on top of the actual patch to review containing some code
 changes that make it possible to build the per-arch .aar files in the
 first place.
