+/**
+ * We support two builds of the directory service provider.
+ * One, linked into the profile component, uses the internal
+ * string API. The other can be used by standalone embedding
+ * clients, and uses embed strings.
+ * To keep the code clean, we are using typedefs to equate
+ * embed/internal string types. We are also defining some
+ * internal macros in terms of the embedding strings API.
+ *
+ * When modifying the profile directory service provider, be
+ * sure to use methods supported by both the internal and
+ * embed strings APIs.
