	Humm..  I think Michael has a misunderstanding.
	This problem isn't installation (pkg-plist, hier(7)), but
	is nspluginscan looking up a (some?) plugin directory as
	${X11BASE}/lib/browser_plugins.  Therefore unbreak hier(7).

	I hope that nspluginscan looks up ${X11BASE}/lib/brower_plugins
	like a /usr/local/netscape/plugins, /opt/mozilla/plugins.
	If this is OK, konqueror will be able to use Linux version
	Flash6 plugin with seamless by flashpluginwrapper and
	/etc/libmap.conf.  Just like FreeBSD native version Flash6
	plugin.
