Whatever logic it is using, the Java plugin will fail to work if the
'libjavaplugin_oji.so' is actually copied to the Mozilla 'plugins'
directory instead of being symbolically linked.  Using the install
procedure (i.e. symbolic link) that has appeared in the
'www/mozilla-0.9.8_2,1' port works correctly.
