I replaced the old one and used the new example. It has the updated 
path. Some of the plugins work because I can visit the Colima Volcano 
web site with any of my browsers and not get a message about flash or 
shockwave not being found. Not sure which one it complains about. I 
visit to see the "en vivo" web cam and that doesn't depend on it.

I had portupgrade die because it updated perl. Then, it couldn't find 
the XML-Parser. In the middle of all of this, when I visited 
macromedia, mozilla and foxfire are just blinking and disappearing. The 
comment on order may be important but getting a fully clean build is 
turning out to not be trivial :). 

It seems that it is slowly coming around. Mozilla is finding all of the 
plugins now. Mozilla also didn't die on macromedia's home page. It died 
when I went to learn more. That means things are heading the right 
direction.
