    Some (many!) plugins don't have a description. There are lots of gaps in
    the spec template, therefore, so please add one in the line in plugin.m4:

    dnl= abi_plugin_desc=""

    (The dnl= at the start of the line is ignored by the shell - and
    therefore nextgen.sh - but acts as a start-of-comment by autoconf.)

    In addition, some plugins have special dependencies, and two optional
    lines can be added to the plugin.m4 to specify these, e.g. for the html
    plugin:

    dnl= abi_plugin_requires="libxml2, abiword"
    dnl= abi_plugin_buildreq="libxml2-devel"

    These will be output by the spec template as:

    Requires: libxml2, abiword
    BuildRequires: libxml2-devel

    In it's current form, the spec template does no grouping of plugins, so
    we'd end up with 40-odd plugins...

    o new --spec option for nextgen.sh
