For the impatient, here is an extremely brief overview of how to
install plugins.

  1.  Change to the plugins directory.

        $ cd plugins/

  2.  Unarchive the plugin.

        $ tar -zxvf /home/me/myplugin.tar.gz

  3.  Note the directory that the plugin was created into.  For this
      example, we will assume it was put in the directory: myplugin/.
  
  4.  Read the README, INSTALL or other documentation in your new plugin.  
      Follow any important configuration instructions inside (about half
      the time there are none, sometimes they are extensive).

        $ cd myplugin/
        $ more README

  5.  Go to the config directory and run conf.pl

        $ cd ../../config/
        $ ./conf.pl

  6.  Choose option 8 and proceed to add the new plugin following
      the instructions there (move the desired plugin from the "Available
      Plugins" category to the "Installed Plugins" category by entering
      its number).  Save and exit, and your plugin should be in place.
