media-video/vlc-0.9.0_alpha20080409 with USE=nsplugin depends on www-client/mozilla-firefox while having www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin installed

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. add 'nsplugin' to your use-flags for vlc
2. emerge -pv media-video/vlc

Actual Results:  
[ebuild  N    ] www-client/mozilla-firefox-2.0.0.13 
[ebuild  N    ] media-video/vlc-0.9.0_alpha20080409

The ebuild has:
		nsplugin? (
			xulrunner? ( =net-libs/xulrunner-1.8* )
			!xulrunner? ( seamonkey? ( =www-client/seamonkey-1* ) )
			!xulrunner? ( !seamonkey? ( =www-client/mozilla-firefox-2* ) )
		)

So for nsplugin you need one of xulrunner, seamonkey or mozilla-firefox. I'd suggest xulrunner if you don't use firefox nor seamonkey. The browser plugin cannot build against the firefox binary. Therefore this bug is invalid.

I have www-client/mozilla-firefox-bin emerged AND it wants to emerge www-client/mozilla-firefox (NOT BIN) - which absolutely makes no sense to me

It needs to compile the plugin against *some* mozilla source, and mozilla-firefox-bin doesn't provide it, so you should probably:

# emerge net-libs/xulrunner

and try again.
