nspluginwrapper doesn't take NSPLUGIN_DIRS in consideration

[Saša Bodiroža]

Binary package hint: nspluginwrapper

The current implementation doesn't take in consideration wrappers which are installed in directory specified with NSPLUGIN_DIR environment variable.

This is needed in order to be able to update all wrappers in nspluginwrapper's postinst script.

This would be done by plugin packages providing a meta-file in /var/lib/nspluginwrapper/dirs.d/. For example, flashplugin-nonfree would provide /var/lib/nspluginwrapper/dirs.d/flashplugin-nonfree which would contain its NSPLUGIN_DIR.

update-wrapper script would read those files and form an env variable NSPLUGIN_DIRS which would contain a list of directories separated by ":" character. (update-wrapper will be tracked by another bug report, the specificaction for that script is still being discussed)

get_env_plugin_dirs() would split the list in NSPLUGIN_DIRS, and return it. get_mozilla_plugin_dirs() would append the split list to the end of the current list of default directories.
