it's not clear to me why this should be the cast; i.e. if someone is using
headless for generating previews, maybe they do want to run plugins?

I suppose you're right. I was thinking NPAPI probably can't run headless but
PPAPI should be fine.

 
   # Enables Native Client support.
   # TODO(GYP): Get NaCl linking on other platforms.
   # Also, see if we can always get rid of enable_nacl_untrusted and
   # enable_pnacl and always build them if enable_nacl is true.
   # The "is_nacl" part of the condition is needed to ensure that
   # the untrusted code is built properly; arguably it should be
   # guarded by "is_nacl" directly rather than enable_nacl_untrusted, but
   # this will go away when Mac and Win are working and we can just use
   # the commented out logic.
