Which needs work. It depends on suse_compat, suse_x11 and
MozillaFirebird-bin which are not needed on some systems running pkgsrc.
And it installs to lib/MozillaFirebird-linux/plugins which is wrong.
I think I suggested months ago to have one location for all these
Netscape-style plugins and then have symlinks from each different browser
Also, why in different directories (graphics vs. www)?

I agree. But they can be cleaned up and used like Makefile.common so other
packages can be made which are re-using most of the same.
Like www/MozillaFirebird-bin-flash and graphics/moz-bin-flash both use a
Macromedia install_flash_player_6_linux.tar.gz file and both install
flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so files.
