/* INTERFACE TO NETSCAPE COMMUNICATOR PLUGINS (NEW C++ API)
*
* This interface was an attempt to supersede npapi.h, npupp.h but it failed. It
* would have eliminated the need for glue files: npunix.c, npwin.cpp and
* npmac.cpp that get linked with the plugin.
*
* This is the master header file that includes most of the other headers
* you'd have needed to write a plugin.
