plugin package files should have one file in the top directory, which is the 
plugin script and one package (directory), that contains als the files. The 
plugin script should contain a module attribute "packageName" that contains 
the name of the package as a string. If the uninstall routine doesn't find 
this attribute, it will give an error message. Maybe this precondition should 
be checked at installation time.
