[webkit-dev] Plugin Troubles with Local Builds vs. Nightly Build Differences

[Jon Shier]

Alex:
	See my bugs here: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49146
	https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37507

	Basically, updated versions of the required executables aren't part of the open source repository.

Workaround: Copy the WebKitPluginAgent and WebKitPluginHost to your locally built WebKit.framework from a recent nightly.
