Plugin Engine

Currently under construction. The goal is to have an API like:

# Import
{PluginEngine} = require('plugin-engine')

# Create Plugin Engine Instance
pluginEngine = new PluginEngine({
	# Where to load plugins from?
	modulesPaths: [__dirname+'/node_modules']
	
	# Loaded plugins must have this tag in their package.json file
	tag: 'docpad-plugin'

	# Ensure the plugin supports these engines
	engines:
		'docpad': '6.22.0'

	# Pass these options over to our plugins during instantiation
	instantiationOpts:
		BasePlugin: require(__dirname+'/out/base-plugin')
}).loadPlugins()

With an example plugin looking like:

module.exports = (instantiationOpts) ->
	{BasePlugin} = instantiationOpts
	class Plugin extends BasePlugin

Things to still figure out:

How to handle plugin and parent events
How to expose the parent object to the plugins
Priorities for events
