About the NPW_DIRECT_EXEC feature

[Gwenole Beauchesne]

Hi,

I forgot to mention the following feature in 1.1.8 release notes:

* Make it possible to execute wrapped native plugins directly, without  
npviewer.bin

In other words, NPW_DIRECT_EXEC=1 firefox will make the plugins work  
as if they were not wrapped. This is mostly interesting for debugging  
and avoids un-wrapping and updating the symbolic links to the native  
plugins.

Note however this mode is not 100% identical to a direct use of the  
plugin. The only differences are NPAPI version exposed to the plugin  
(0.17) and the following unimplemented functions: NPN_ReloadPlugins(),  
NPN_InvalidateRegion(), NPN_ForceRedraw(), NPP_SetValue(). Those  
differences are wanted (to check at the same features levels as  
npviewer.bin). It's fairly easy to suppress those differences. i.e.  
copy the missing NPNetscapeFuncs and npapi_version from the original  
NPNetscapeFuncs table (in NP_Initialize()).

Regards,
Gwenole.
