Description Steve Frécinaux 2010-10-02 11:27:28 UTC 
There were previously two places where the application name were used
in the plugin info format:
 - the file extension was .appname-plugin
 - the INI section was [AppName Plugin]

This patch drop those and uses a more generic naming:
 - the file extension is now .plugin
 - the INI section is now [Plugin]

This makes one less (rather useless) value to provide to the engine,
and besides it is consistent with what others do in the same field
(Mozilla, for instance, uses a single .xpi extension for all the
applications using XPInstall).

Last but not least, it will also make it easier for us to use the
_get_default() scheme...
