>Description:
When running linux-firefox and linux-flashplugin7, the links to enable the
plugin must be created manually, as the provided 'linkfarm' utility only looks
for linux-flashplugin6.  Note that concessions also need to be made for
linux-flashplugin, but those are not made here.

The utility also doesn't get rid of stale links, which prohibits someone from
easily swapping, say, flashplugin versions: as each version makes the same
softlink within /usr/X11R6/lib/linux-firefox/plugins, and as linkfarm does
not remove old links, new ones cannot be created.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install www/linux-flashplugin7.  Run linkfarm.  Watch as it doesn't enable
the plugin.
>Fix:
Patch below adds support for www/linux-flashplugin7, and also removes stale
links within the plugin directory:
