The plugins array has not yet been implemented. Patrick, this was originally on
your plate. We need to work out whether you can still do it.

So, first we need to add a line like the following to mozilla/dom/public/idl/
base/Navigator.idl:

   readonly attribute  HTMLCollection       plugins;

And then nsIDOMNavigator will have a GetPlugins() method which one of us can
implement in NavigatorImpl (in mozilla/dom/src/base/nsGlobalWindow.h/.cpp).
Vidur, would you make the .idl changes, and regenerate the interfaces for us?
We'll take it from there.

Changed to all platforms/OS, also is this component correctly assigned? Isn't it
really Netscape DOM specific? I guess DOM level 0 is the closest component we
have.
