Patch to the ebuild

As Firefox no longer reuses xulrunner sources, it is really bad for NPAPI plugins to require building the whole xulrunner. This is why we've created a tiny npapi-sdk packages providing the necessary headers and a pkg-config file for them.

Although right now we have only live version of npapi-sdk, we'll do a release in a few days and packages can already start preparing to be able to use it. This will help users a lot.

I've prepared a simple patch to support building against npapi-sdk and opened a request upstream. The ebuild is available for testing in ::mgorny overlay as well.

I think the patch in your attachment here is incomplete (removes old check but doesn't add new one), on the upstream bug it seems more complete.

Hm nevermind, it seems that it matters whether I click on the attachment in the attachment section or in your comment, weird.

Applied in icedtea-web-1.1.2, thanks.
