Gecko 1.9 Plugin Improvements

We are hoping to make 3 major improvements to the Mac OS X plugin architecture in Gecko 1.9:

  • 344425 - support NP_GetEntryPoints as a way to get plugin function pointers instead of calling "main()"
  • 336060 - use a slower idleEvent timer for plugins that are not in a foreground tab on the key window
  • 344427 Support Mac OS X NPAPI Drawing Models, as proposed below. Significant changes include support for 64-bit plugins and allowing 32-bit plugins to use CoreGraphics.
