SeaMonkey 2.10.1 can't find libxul.so on startup

Hi,

As you may have noticed SeaMonkey 2.10.1 hasn't been committed to the ports
tree yet. There is still a problem when starting SeaMonkey:

# seamonkey 
XPCOMGlueLoad error for file /usr/local/lib/seamonkey/libxpcom.so:
Shared object "libxul.so" not found, required by "libxpcom.so"
Couldn't load XPCOM.

It looks like SeaMonkey doesn't find libxul.so which is in
${PREFIX}/lib/seamonkey/.

I assume this is cause by:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=668869

I'm not sure how to solve this in a proper way. Any hint is appreciated.

Patch for 2.10.1 is available here:

Thanks,
Beat
