HOWTO

# mplayerplug-in 3.40
# ===================
# Prerequisites:
# gawk
# pkg-config
# A full installation (with libs and includes) of mozilla (Slackware's
#  mozilla package is sufficient)
# GTK+-2.0
# Glib-2.0
# XFree86 or X.org
# grep
# mplayer >= 1.0pre7

# Naturally every distribution, source tarball, and binary tarball all
# put each browser somewhere else, so we try several common locations.
# If your browser's plugins directory isn't listed below, let me know.
