/**
 * Utilities for JavaScript components loaded by the JS component
 * loader.
 *
 * Import into a JS component using
 * 'Components.utils.import("resource://gre/modules/XPCOMUtils.jsm");'
 *
 * Exposing a JS 'class' as a component using these utility methods consists
 * of several steps:
 * 0. Import XPCOMUtils, as described above.
 * 1. Declare the 'class' (or multiple classes) implementing the component(s):
 *  function MyComponent() {
 *    // constructor
 *  }
 *  MyComponent.prototype = {
 *    // properties required for XPCOM registration:
 *    classDescription: "unique text description",
 *    classID:          Components.ID("{xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}"),
 *    contractID:       "@example.com/xxx;1",
 *
 *    // [optional] custom factory (an object implementing nsIFactory). If not
 *    // provided, the default factory is used, which returns
 *    // |(new MyComponent()).QueryInterface(iid)| in its createInstance().
 *    _xpcom_factory: { ... },
 *
 *    // [optional] an array of categories to register this component in.
 *    _xpcom_categories: [{
 *      // Each object in the array specifies the parameters to pass to
 *      // nsICategoryManager.addCategoryEntry(). 'true' is passed for
 *      // both aPersist and aReplace params.
 *      category: "some-category",
 *      // optional, defaults to the object's classDescription
 *      entry: "entry name",
 *      // optional, defaults to the object's contractID (unless
 *      // 'service' is specified)
 *      value: "...",
 *      // optional, defaults to false. When set to true, and only if 'value'
 *      // is not specified, the concatenation of the string "service," and the
 *      // object's contractID is passed as aValue parameter of addCategoryEntry.
 *      service: true
 *    }],
 *
 *    // QueryInterface implementation, e.g. using the generateQI helper
 *    QueryInterface: XPCOMUtils.generateQI(
 *      [Components.interfaces.nsIObserver,
 *       Components.interfaces.nsIMyInterface]),
 *
 *    // ...component implementation...
 *  };
 *
 * 2. Create an array of component constructors (like the one
 * created in step 1):
 *  var components = [MyComponent];
 *
 * 3. Define the NSGetModule entry point:
 *  function NSGetModule(compMgr, fileSpec) {
 *    // components is the array created in step 2.
 *    return XPCOMUtils.generateModule(components);
 *  }
