14.02 up-rev NSS lib so Netflix can play

[Paul Adolph]

That's great news. If both 14.10 and 14.02 have a recent (> 3.16.2)
version of NSS, I can make a case here to lift the User-Agent
filtering which will make Netflix HTML5 play in Chrome turnkey with no
hacks required. So please let me know when you get around to it.
