NPAPI infrastructure
NPAPI infrastructure provides macros for ports that install NPAPI plugins.
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NPAPI NPAPI] is a plugin architecture, supported by many browsers. To name a few: Mozilla/Seamonkey, Firefox, Opera and Konqueror.
NPAPI plugins are currently installed in a variety of directories, usually under X11BASE. However, I hereby propose to install all plugins in LOCALBASE/lib/npapi/UNIQUENAME. We can then employ [“Linkfarming”] to make plugins available to browsers and let users actually tune what plugins to enable in which browsers. I am working on www/linux-mplayer-plugin, which will hopefully contain Makefile.npapi. I then hope to convert at least www/linux-flashplugin7.
