      Multi JRE support is failing in Netscape browser.When
      Merlin is installed on a system which already has the
      ladybird installed and running the applets using
      specifically with the MIME type for ladybird
      doesn't recognise the Plug-in .This breaks the Multi JRE support
      of ladybird co-existing with Merlin.
      This problem occurs only in Netscape browser when a Java Plug-in version
      specific "CLSID" is used in IE loads the version of Plug-in correctly.

      Also, Noticed that the NPJava131.dll in the Netscape/plugins directory
      is removed when Merlin is installed on the System with ladybird
      co-existing.

      To reproduce the Problem:
      _________________________

      1. Install ladybird.
      2. Run the following applet in Netscape4.x which uses
         "1.3.1" MIME type.

       http://sqesvr.eng/deployment2/sridhare/ws-07-2000/tests/multiversion/solaris/uniquefiles/version131.html

        This applet load fine using Java Plug-in 1.3.1

      3. Install Java Plug-in Merlin build 59

      4. Load the following applet .

      http://sqesvr.eng/deployment2/sridhare/ws-07-2000/tests/multiversion/solaris/uniquefiles/version140.html

      5. Applet is loaded fine using the Java Plug-in version 1.4.0

      6. Load the Applet using MIME-type 1.3.1 again.

      http://sqesvr.eng/deployment2/sridhare/ws-07-2000/tests/multiversion/solaris/uniquefiles/version131.html

      The applet is not loaded and the Plug-in is not recognised.
      This is not the behaviour in IE.Tested on NT/IE4/Netscape4.72
      with ladybird-rc1 and Merlin build59.

      NPJava131.dll from plug-in's directory should not be removed when Merlin is
      installed.
