PROGRESS NOTES:



DESCRIPTION:

Now, standalone plugins needs to be distributed witha different set of files, as
compared to bundled plugins. For example, standalone plugins that use autotools
need NEWS, AUTHORS, README, configure.ac, Makefile.am, ChangeLog. Bundled
plugins need Makefile.am and plug.in - or CMakeLists.txt for 5.5.

It means that standalone plugin cannot be built from within the tree, and
bundled plugin - outside of it.

It would be beneficial for plugin authors if we remove this difference. Speaking
of 5.5 only, it means providing cmake include file (?) that would allow to use
MYSQL_ADD_PLUGIN() macro from outside the source tree. Such a cmake file would
be installed with the mysql headers and libraries.
