--- Comment #8 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs at snkmail.com> ---
What is the source of the headers referenced in this patch?  Are they
maintained?

Nitpick: for an unversioned dist file like this (npapi-headers.tar.gz), can it
live in a versioned DIST_SUBDIR directory?  Similar to devel/jenkins or other
ports.

I suggest not making PLUGIN default on.  It's just the way the world is moving
- away from the browser plugin.  icedtea-web is still useful with javaws, of
course.

At the very least, we should apply the part of this patch that passes
--disable-plugin at configure time (if PLUGIN is off).  This will help fix the
port after BROKEN was recently added unconditionally.
