what *is* the proper recipe for 64-bit flash support?

  ah, excellent.  a couple more dumb questions, if i might.  at the
moment, i've configured things to use the "old-style" way of getting
64-bit flash, where /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so is a
symlink to /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so, and that latter
file is part of the flash-plugin.i386 package.

  i'm guessing that i can just "yum remove flash-plugin", which i
believe removes the symlink, and simply dump that new .so file into
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins.  it's self-contained so that should be all i
need, right?

  do i still need the nspluginwrapper packages if i go this route?
