Preinstall media play plugin

Initially the VLC plugin only was pre installed but we had problems so I moved it to a full VLC install. The problems turned out to be something else. Plus the VLC installer does NOT install the plug in by default.

There is a problem with VLC 1.0.1 Firefox plugin as it always looks for it's plugin in the install directory as given in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\VideoLAN\VLC\InstallDir. Thus although we can copy the files to extension\plugins it doesn't work unless the installer also sets that key. This is likely to fail if another version of VLC is installed. So will need to patch plugin to use plugin's own dir and submit to VLC.

The files to copy to extension\plugins are; npvlc.dll, npvlc.dll.manefest, libvlc.dll, libvlccore.dll, plugins\*.

The fix was to make the installer set the registry key.
