plugins support one of web browsers and can take care of plist (depend on how
you use it) at the same time. I have written a complete document and even show
how it works in the www/firefox/Makefile.webplugins so be sure to read in
there. If there is anything that isn't clear in the document, please feel free

FYI: GNOME 2.24 depends on this, so it's coming.
BTW: It's based on www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi with heavy modified.

MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME or/and LD_LIBRARY_PATH to make it works in the runtime. Now,
it's no longer need to set these variables, which this flag takes care of it.
The MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME still works with this flag if someone need to use
different one. I have learned about this flag from RPM, Debian, Gentoo ebuild
and other packages.
- Bump the PORTREVISION.
