If I go down the path of adding this to extras then I would like
agreement from caillon that firefox-2.x in fc7 would obsolete firefox2
otherwise it would open up a world of hurt.

The whole package though relies on people who know what they are doing
with respect to profiles, while I have not extensively tested moving
from a 2.0 profile back to a 1.5 profile I do know for me it seems to
work OK when I click the wrong profile  :-P

YMMV.

This is something I was hoping on feedback from caillon on.  It is my
understanding that applications that were built under a certain version
would look at the ini group header and choose the right values...
