+/* nsINativeAppSupport
+ *
+ * This "pseudo" (in the XPCOM sense) interface provides for
+ * platform-specific general application support
+ *
+ * Due to the nature of the beast, this interface is not a full-blown
+ * XPCOM component. The primary reason is that objects that implement
+ * this interface generally must be operational *before* XPCOM (or any
+ * of the rest of Mozilla) are initialized. As a result, this
+ * interface is instantiated by somewhat unconventional means.
+ *
+ * To create the implementor of this interface, you call the function
+ * NS_CreateNativeAppSupport. This is done in the startup code
+ * in nsAppRunner.cpp
+ *
+ * The interface provides these functions:
+ * start - You call this to inform the native app support that the
+ * application is starting. In addition, it serves as a
+ * query as to whether the application should continue to
+ * run.
+ *
+ * If the returned boolean result is PR_FALSE, then the
+ * application should exit without further processing. In
+ * such cases, the returned nsresult indicates whether the
+ * reason to exit is due to an error or not.
+ *
+ * Win32 Note: In the case of starting a second instance
+ * of this executable, this function will return
+ * PR_FALSE and nsresult==NS_OK. This means that
+ * the command line arguments have been
+ * successfully passed to the instance of the
+ * application acting as a remote server.
+ * quit - Informs the native app support that the application is stopping. The
+ * app support should disable any functionality enabled by start.
+ *
+ * onLastWindowClosing - Called when the last window is closed. Used as a
+ * "soft" shutdown, passwords are flushed.
