with the idea
of CouchDB scanning a list of directories each time, loading things
automatically.
I did it this way to avoid touching the CouchDB code, and not wanting
to impose another file format or do parsing in shell script.
Especially given that I have an imminent requirement for CouchDB/Win32
where the shell is complete shit. OTOH I may have to replace the start
script with C for that reason.
It might be better to have an erlang plugin manager that can deal with
plugin selection, dependencies and ordering requirements, but that's a
more intrusive solution.
