The "real" bug about plugin processes is bug 156493.  This one is open to allow cjones and bent to track and backup their initial work.

Attachment: checkpoint 1

Loads plugin DSO in separate process, doesn't do much else.  Lots of chromium lib cleanup.  Next up is talking to the plugin.

Attachment: checkpoint of second approach

Differing approach from the first.  Starting to sort out protocol vs. transport layer, attempt to own channel semantics.  Posted purely for personal archival.

Attachment: checkpoint v2 of second approach

Pushed about as far as I can get without an NPRuntime.  The application/x-test plugin won't draw, and (apparently) flash as well, without that.  Numerous hacks abound, so a "personal archival purposes" disclaimer still applies.
