 * Initialises the Gecko embedding layer. You <I>must</I>
 * call this method before proceeding to use Gecko. This function ensures
 * XPCOM is started, creates the component registry if necessary and
 * starts global services.
 *
 * @status FROZEN
 *
 * @note Use <CODE>NS_NewLocalFile</CODE> to create the file object you
 *       supply as the bin directory path in this call. The function
 *       may be safely called before the rest of XPCOM or embedding has
 *       been initialised.
 *
 * @param aMozBinDirectory The Gecko directory containing the component
 *                         registry and runtime libraries;
 *                         or use <CODE>nsnull</CODE> to use the working
 *                         directory.
 * @param aAppFileLocProvider The object to be used by Gecko that specifies
 *                         to Gecko where to find profiles, the component
 *                         registry preferences and so on; or use
 *                         <CODE>nsnull</CODE> for the default behaviour.
 * @param aStaticComponents An array of static components (see NS_InitXPCOM3).
 *                         may be null.
 * @param aStaticComponentCount Number of static components in the
 *                              aStaticComponents array.
 *
 * @see NS_NewLocalFile
 * @see nsILocalFile
 * @see nsIDirectoryServiceProvider
 *
 * @return NS_OK for success;
 *         other error codes indicate a failure during initialisation.
