 It is easy to be built with xulrunner>=8, but it break to build with 
xulrunner192,
 it is because NPAPI is changed, but NPAPI version macro is not bumped,
 so it is impossible to switch with its version.

 Yes, devel/xulrunner and devel/xulrunner192 is co-existable.
 xulrunner is just required to build, so pulgins itself should be usable with
 both www/firefox and www/firefox36.
 
 I decided to switch using xulrunner192, because I don't want to future 
xulrunner/firefox
 break API compatibility again, but it will be pulled up to stable branch for
 security reason,  and it break plugin packages again.
