Hi, this adds Mullvad Browser, which is a privacy-focused web browser based on
Firefox and done in collaboration with the Tor Browser folk.

There is a commit to improve inheritance, so that the other one, the real one,
is short.

Clément Lassieur (2):
  gnu: icecat: Improve inheritance.
  gnu: Add mullvad-browser.

I'd prefer for Mullvad to have its own package definition that does not
inherit from IceCat.  The issue from my perspective is that I don't want
to be compelled to coordinate with you every time I make a nontrivial
update to IceCat.

      Thanks,
        Mark

Sure, no problem.  That will make things easier.

So I'll change this patch into a patch that doesn't inherit Icecat
anymore.  I'll use this opportunity to get closer to the Tor build
process.  This will take some time.

This patch shouldn't change, but depends on the first one.
