Attached patch Browser patch (deleted) — Splinter Review
I noticed recently that while AccessibleMarshal.dll is included in packages-static, IA2Marshall.dll isn't. It seems to me that if one's included, so should the other.

The attached patch fixes it for the Windows packages-static in /browser. I suppose this would have to be done for /mail and /suite as well.

Now I think I remember -- we shouldn't be including it anywhere IIRC, because it's really only built for debugging purposes now. It's the assistive technology's responsibility to ship with that marshaling library, not the apps.

Pete, right?
That's correct.  The decision was that the ATs would install it in system32 and would not uninstall it.  Interestingly enough I don't have a copy on my system.  I am remembering that Rob said that JAWS runs fine without it.
WONTFIX because of comment 2.

Browser patch

Cancelling review, given WONTFIX.
Fwiw, bug 461888 removed 'accessible/build/accessibility.pkg' "in the meantime".

Iiuc,
If it's to be never included then it should not be built (automatically).
If it's a debugging tool, it should be built and packaged "ifdef DEBUG".
etc.
