OK, I have tested some things on 3 seperate machines and I have decided not 
to 
include this patch.

However

The reason that I don't want to include it is that the changes can be done 
live 'on-the-fly' with a few changes to the flash spell.  Here are the 
changes that need to be done:

1. Fix the BUILD so that the cp commands end in / to fix that problem.
2. In each subsection, have a mkdir command specific to the system OR what 
about a universal one (say /usr/lib/browserplugins/ ) ?
3. Finish the BUILD with a:

ln -sf /usr/lib/libstdc++.so /usr/lib/libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3

This line is needed in order to make the flash plugin (which was built for 
RedHat 6.2) work with our source-based distro.***

4. Finally, in Konqueror, under Settings/Configure Konqueror/Plugins/Scan 
Directories the entry from #2 above can be added and scanned.  As soon as I 
track down the storage location of this file, the spell can do it itself.

I think this is a much cleaner way of handling this and avoids a patch that 
would have to be maintained from version to version.  I would prefer to keep 
the source based spells (in this case kdebase) as clean as possible and since 
the work-around is needed for a binary spell that the adjustments be made in 
that spell.


***MASSIVE props to hgg for giving me this one!

If you float on instinct alone, how can you calculate the buoyancy for
the computed load?
