The aggregator consists of a directory structure containing the various components that in aggregate are the aggregator toolbar.
You can just copy this directory to any web, or browser, accessable directory and change the name from aggregator to something meaningfull for your purpose. Then you edit the reader_properties.js file for your purpose and you have a custom xul toolbar application. Put a link on a web page to the reader.xul to load the aggregator toolbar into your mozilla based webbrowser.
