--- Comment #2 from Jason W. Bacon <jwb@freebsd.org> ---

Yes, I'm aware that installing via make is easy, but that's not the problem. 
The problem as that after doing so, the installation of all the c7 ports will
get wiped and replaced with c6 equivalents by "pkg upgrade".

So it seems we should have separate c6 and c7 ports, as we used to with
linux-c*-flashplugin.

Both were replaced by a single linux-flashplayer port, so I wondered if this
change came with a clever way to preserve either a c6 or c7 environment through
pkg upgrades.

Since it apparetnly did not, I would propose that we replace linux-flashplayer
with linux-c6-flashplayer and linux-c7-flashplayer, which would be virtually
identical except for USES=linux:c*.
