[Nagiosplug-devel] New plugins, autoconf & pre-built binaries

[Voon, Ton]

The plugin dev guidelines do mention a few bits, but not in as much detail
as you just have. I can look into updating them. 

I was thinking about a www project in the top level CVS to hold the web
pages, where a make install will also put down all the dev guidelines. Is
this a good idea?
