Flash support in Firefox under FreeBSD

To have flash supported in Firefox under FreeBSD, the following tasks have to be done:

• install www/linuxpluginwrapper (portinstall linuxpluginwrapper)
• install www/linux-flashplugin7 (portinstall linux-flashplugin7)
• apply the rtld patch:
• download the patch from http://people.FreeBSD.org/~nork/rtld_dlsym_hack.diff
• copy the patch to the /usr/src directory
• apply the patch: # patch < rtld_dlsym_hack.diff
• rebuild rtld-elf
• cd /usr/src/libexec/rtld-elf
• make clean cleandir
• make clean cleandir (yes, twice!)
• make obj
• make depend
• make
• make install

And now it should work!
