Over the last two major version releases, we've gotten a much better foundation
for dealing w/ preferences.

Bug 158384 - generic preferences documentation
Bug 198252 - guide to networking prefs.
(http://www.mozilla.org/quality/networking/docs/netprefs.html)

I've also learned enough to use LXR, pull the tree, and write patches to change
the prefs files.

So what I want to do is the following:

1- Document all Networking releate prefs UI.
2- Document all functioning networking prefs.
3- File bugs against any discrepancies.
4- Remove any useless prefs entries from all product trees.

This will be a working meta bug, so process comments should go here, technical
items related to blocking bugs should go in the bug, please.

review please! Asa says do trunk first, then think about both 1.6f and 1.4.2...

btw, these "dead" prefs appear in other pref files scattered throughout the
tree.  i recommend searching LXR on the pref names to locate the other files.

There was a pref cleanup where other products now do something like copy all.js,
rather than having their own copy in their own tree.

I'll own cleaning up the patch list and hunting down any spurious entries in the
tree.

Bryner mentioned a couple more prefs to look at in:

I'll start researching those soon.
