Finally got time to look into this again tonight. I was getting errors,
and the first round suggested that I needed to change libmap.conf from:

[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so]

to:

[/usr/X11R6/lib/browser_plugins/libflashplayer.so]

After that, about:plugins was showing Flash 7, but Firefox would crash
when I loaded a site with flash. I then applied rtld_dlsym_hack.diff and
now it appears to be working. For the time being. Heh.
