Tired of plugins and their ceaseless whining about dependencies?
Well, brighten up! Here's the solution to all your woes!

CHANGE YOUR LIFE!!!
The _new_autoskip_mechanism_ is designed to lift the burden of failed
dependencies from you shoulders. Take 2 libraries into the shower?
No longer! Now you can just configure & go!
<print type="small">
Individual plugin configure scripts need to be modified to take advantage
of the revolutionary new autoskip mechanism.
</print>
o 2 new macros: report system & autoskip mechanism
- ABI_PLUGIN_REPORT(<message>) append <message> to file "plugin.status".
- write "plugin.status" to screen at end of configuration.
- ABI_PLUGIN_AUTOSKIP(<message>,<makefile>)
If autoskip isn't disabled (--disable-autoskip), create fake makefile
called <makefile> (typically "GNUmakefile"), report <message> using
ABI_PLUGIN_REPORT, and exit nicely.
If disabled, echo <message> to screen, and terminate configuration.

It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and
wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again.
That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.
