>Description:
	mozilla ships with a plugin - libnullplugin.so - which
	installs itself as the default plugin for unknown plugin
	types.

	This plugin has the extremely irritating behaviour of
	displaying a pop up EVERY TIME a web site wants a plugin
	you don't have (e.g., Flash), and there's no obvious way
	to say "don't nag me any more".

	If you remove the plugin:
		rm /usr/pkg/lib/mozilla/plugins/libnullplugin.so
	then mozilla itself still displays a dialog telling you
	that the plugin is unsupported, but you can check a box
	to say "ok, please don't nag me anymore", which is much
	more useful.


>How-To-Repeat:
	Go to a website which asks for a plugin which you don't have.
	(E.g, www.asus.com without a flash player).
	Get annoyed with the popups.

>Fix:
	Provide a pkg mk.conf(5) variable to remove this plugin
	from the install and from the installed PLIST.
