Description Michał Górny archtester

This package was my attempt to make versioned packages with NPAPI-SDK, and prefer using system installation over bundling.  It was mostly unsuccessful, mostly due to Mozilla upstream insisting on bundling and doing breaking API changes.  Either way, it is largely irrelevant today now that browsers are removing NPAPI support altogether.
