#1 I left around in case something other than thunderbird or firefox
set LD_LIBRARY_PATH then invoked acroread but yes it only helps
acroread.
I believe the thunderbird/firefox problems started with this commit:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-changes/2007/02/04/0002.html from
Dan McMahill fixing a problem on Solaris. Think we need to not do
the LD_LIBRARY_PATH bit on NetBSD and possibly other systems that run
binary emulations and have the issues with mixing LD_LIBRARY_PATH's.
