+ simple-plugin
+ -------------
+
+ This sample plugin implements the barebones for a SPIT module that can be
+ loaded by Shotwell at startupp. However, because it implements no
+ Spit.Pluggables, is does not actually extend Shotwell's functionality.
+
+ Note that the Shotwell plugin developer headers must be installed prior
+ to building simple-plugin. This can be done from the source code like so:
+
+ $ ./configure --install-headers
+ $ make
+ $ make install
+
+ You probably need to be root prior to running "make install" ("sudo make
+ install" or some variant).
+
+ NOTE: simple-plugin's Makefile is *not* designed to install the plugin in
+ a system directory. Rather, it installs the plugin in the user's plugin
+ directory (in ~/.gnome2/shotwell/plugins). To build and install
+ simple-plugin:
+
+ $ make
+ $ make install
