Details

Supposedly, an nsIPlugin is to act as a class object and factory for
nsIPluginInstances. The plugin loader apparently wants NS_NewGenericModule to be
handed a constructor function for an nsIPluginInstance--normally, this function
would take a construction function for the class factory (nsIPlugin).

Nominating nsbeta3. Unless I've totally misunderstood the XPCOM plugin API, this
is a pretty fundamental malfunction.

It wasn't the plugin API I'd totally misunderstood, it was NS_NewGenericModule.
Plugins, it seems, aren't generic modules, as they don't use a GenericFactory.
