	I am running into an increasing number of web sites - including
those of mega-corporations - where the home page is 100% Flash,
leaving no way to get inside if you don't do .swf.
	Short of a native Flash Player (not holding my breath), the
correct long-term solution is for someone with the right skill-set
(regrettably not me) to fix www/linuxpluginwrapper.  This will not
only make using Linux Flash players feasible, but will bring joy to
the hearts of the many who want to use other Linux plugins.
