Work around the miscompilation/mislinkage problem of the sCanonicalVTable

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
to ask and I will try my best to improvement it.
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.
