Merb devel - Jun 2007 - Plugin Requirements

I like the style of the Merb plugin manager....installing gems
straight from RubyForge.

However, the current implementation in trunk wants to find an install
script and a Rakefile.merb. Many gems would still be useful without
this and could be easily packaged with a Merb app for deployment.

Right now it wil "rescue nil" if no uninstall script is found, but the
others are required.

Is there any objection to tweaking the code so it looks for install
and rakefile.merb, but doesn''t require them for a successful plugin
installation?

Geoff-

	Go for it. The plugin manager is still alpha and is not set in stone  
yet, Please feel free to improve it ;)
