WIP: Flash plugin



This has been sitting a for while on my disk.  It installs the
Macromedia Flash player Netscape plugin for Linux/i386.  Both
www/netscape/{navigator,communicator}-linux and www/opera can make
use of this.

My idea was to provide flavors for netscape and opera that differ
by the location of the plugin directory, see the attached port.

Problem:  The Linux Netscape ports already come with an older version
of this plugin, causing a file name clash.

Does anybody know what ShockwaveFlash.class is for?  It's identical
to the one already included with the netscape ports, and Opera
doesn't support Java at all (maybe later by way of another plugin),
so maybe we simply shouldn't install it?  And rename libflashplayer.so
to something like libflashplayer5.so?  This would take care of the
collisions.


FWIW, I'm not all that interested in Flash, but it's a convenient
test case for Opera's Netscape plugin support. ;-)
