Plug-ins usually run as part of the browser... I found a handy little
utility that will fake being a plug-in for just about any type you can
think of.  All you do it tell it the MIME-type and what application
to launch and when netscape asks for a plug in, it'll just launch the
external viewer.

The utility is called XSwallow and it can be found at
http://skynet.csn.ul.ie/~caolan/docs/Xswallow.html

I'm currently using it under Solaris AND Linux and have been able to add
plugin support for quicktimes (with xanim), ms netshow, ra* and quite
a few other things.
