Add Extension: KOPEK Payment System Components

The KOPEK Payment System Components allows for easy purchases and access control
for web content and services with credit card, cell phone, smartcard wallet,
invoice and other payment instruments.

With pre-1.0 releases of FireFox, the user experience was acceptable, but with
the stricter install scheme introduced with the FireFox 1.0 release, the
usability has become unacceptable. Kopek therefore wish to have the KOPEK
Payment System components added to update.mozilla.org to again have acceptable
usability.

XPI file: http://www.kopek.net/download/npkopek/npkopek.xpi

The XPI have been tested and found to be working with 1.x versions of Mozilla in
addition to all current and multiple previous releases of FireFox and Netscape.

The component is approved by Symantec and does not include any adware, spyware,
trojans, virus, modem hijacking or other unwanted features.

Technically, your component is a Plugin, not an extension. Extension XPIs
require strict adherence to the packaging procedure defined at
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firefox/extensions/packaging/extensions.html .
It seems there is no way an extension XPI could include plugins.

Therefore, although it works fine, your XPI cannot be listed as an Extension on
the update.mozilla.org website.

However, Firefox includes a Plug-In Finder Service that auto-detects if a page
needs a plug-in that is missing, and can for example install Java or Flash. You
should try to find information about how to list your plug-in there (try the 
#firefox channel on irc.mozilla.org, or post in one of the mozilla newsgroups).
