This is highly configurable.  Check out sqUnixExternalModules.c if you
haven't and want to see the dirt.  One complexity is that it can be hard
to *find* the executable, on Unix.  In one crazy case, maybe someone
saved the executable, executed it, and then deleted it from the
filesystem!

But we could surely configure it to look in the "squeak" subdirectory of
Netscape's plugin directory(ies).
