Been there, did that.

mozilla-config.h is pretty easy to locate:

$ locate mozilla-config.h
/home/docbill/Download/xulrunner-1.8.0.4/mozilla/mozilla-config.h
/home/docbill/Download/xulrunner-1.8.0.4/mozilla/dist/include/mozilla-config.h
/home/docbill/Download/xulrunner-1.8.0.4/mozilla/dist/sdk/include/mozilla-config.h
/usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/mozilla-config.h
/usr/include/xulrunner-sdk-1.9/unstable/mozilla-config.h

The configuration program is not complaining it can't find
mozilla-config.h, it is complaining it can't find an executable called
"mozilla-config". 
Is there a way I can tell configure where mozilla-config.h is and bypass
this test?
