SKELETON PLUG-INS

  The project's skeleton directory contains three types of skeleton
  plug-ins that can be used to start coding your own plug-ins for the
  framework.  Just choose the skeleton code for the type of plug-in
  you would like to develop, modify a few lines, and start coding.
  Note that these files are intended to serve as examples and helpful
  hints on how to get started, not as definitive ways to create
  plug-ins.

  The three types skeleton plug-ins are:

  - category-skel: A skeleton category plug-in to define a new
    file type.

  - analysis-skel: A skeleton analysis plug-in to define a new
    type of analysis.  This code is for a Generic plug-in, but can be
    easily modified for any file-type category.

  - analysis-ext-skel: A skeleton analysis plug-in to define a new
    type of analysis that calls an external program.  This type of
    plug-in is excellent for acting as a wrapper script around another
    program.
