As for building NPAPI plugins, there's a separate project that only
ships the required headers. I've forgotten what it's called, but Debian
uses it to build their NPAPI plugins and it probably needs just
packaging up if the plan is to drop xulrunner. The pkgconfig file name
is different from xulrunner's, but since Debian already uses it I expect
most project are already checking both pkgconfig names.
