We now check in:

	/usr/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.8

	/usr/local/lib/ethereal/plugins/0.8

	PLUGIN_DIR, which defaults to

		/usr/local/lib/ethereal/0.8

	~/.ethereal/plugins

for plugins, if the directories in question exist.

Should we check in *all* of the first three?  Or should we just check
PLUGIN_DIR?  Or should we make PLUGIN_DIR default to
"$libdir/ethereal/plugins/0.8"?

(My inclination is to check just PLUGIN_DIR and "~/.ethereal/plugins".)
