Ah, finally the missing information!  Previously someone mentioned
PRE_XORG7, because of the typo I could not find any info on this.

It's weird that cvsweb.freebsd.org exists, whil searching for "cvsweb"
in the Search box on www.freebsd.org comes up with nothing.  Searching
for PRE_XORG_7 also comes up with nothing.  It looks like the search
function is completely broken.  That put me on the wrong track.

Because of my background I probably should not say it, but have you
considered using Google search for freebsd.org?

Now that I now the tag name I can also search for it on
http://www.google.com/bsd  You can add "site:freebsd.org" and you have a
perfect replacement for the www.freebsd.org Search box!


So now I was finally able to update nspluginwrapper.  In case you are
interested, this is what I did:
- cvsup ports-all with the PRE_XORG_7 tag
- cvsup ports-www with the "." tag to get the updated
  www/nspluginwrapper
- Try running "portupgrade nspluginwrapper".  This fails because for
  unclear reasons it checks for /usr/X11R6/libdata/xorg/libraries and
  starts installing X11.  Cancel this.
- "mkdir /usr/X11R6/libdata/xorg/libraries"
- "portupgrade nspluginwrapper"  works!
