 Hmm, you're right.  I will include that change in the patch I am working
 on.
 
 The problem I'm running into is I don't seem to get variable expansion
 to work inside my conditional.
 
 This works:
 
 .for f in ${LIBFILES}
     @${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/${f} ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6
 .if exists(/usr/local/lib/linux-mozilla/plugins)
 	echo "Hi! I'm inside the if statement!"
     @${LN} -sf ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/${f}
 ${PREFIX}/${PLUGINSDIR}
 .endif
 .endfor
 
 This doesn't:
 
 .for f in ${LIBFILES}
     @${INSTALL_DATA} ${WRKSRC}/${f} ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6
 .if exists(${PREFIX}/${PLUGINSDIR})
 	echo "Hi! I'm inside the if statement!"
     @${LN} -sf ${PREFIX}/lib/linux-flashplugin6/${f}
 ${PREFIX}/${PLUGINSDIR}
 .endif
 .endfor
 
 And I'm not sure why it doesn't work.  At any rate, I have a solution
 and with a bit more testing I'll submit a new patch.
 
 Sorry for the inconvenience,
 
 Brandon D. Valentine
