OOM Linker Issue on Windows
Summary of where we are:
- Hit Bug 709193 over the weekend.
- After investigating, determined that we were running out of address space in the linker.
- Backed out some recent additions (SPDY and Graphite) to get libxul size down a bit and reopen the tree under restricted rules.
- Removed some code that's not in the critical path from libxul.
Where we're going:
- Remove enough code from libxul to tide us over (might be here already, might not).
- Stand up 32 bit compilers on 64 bit operating systems to get another GB of address space.
