Why the hell the Flash plugin (for Linux) needs openldap and sqlite I do not
know. SASL too for that matter.

I must admit I gave up ever getting Flash to work RELIABLY on FreeBSD a long
time ago. It's just too hard, too much work, and not worth the misery of
installing heaps of crud just to get a flipping browser plugin working
unreliably.
