Hi Mike,

so the reason I added NPN_ScheduleTimer/NPN_UnscheduleTimer was as a
replacement for null events on Mac. The idea behind these timers is that the
browser is free to pause/throttle them as necessary. (That's why they're in
WebKit - they were Mac specific)

Do you need the API on Android for the same reasons? If so, I think we should
propose on plugin-futures that they be made generic and not mac-specific at
all.
