It's called plugins because you can just "include theplugin.mk" if you 
want. The build tool that comes with erlang.mk allows you to build 
everything into a single file which is easier to work with, but you 
don't have to use it that way.

You can extend erlang.mk directly in your Makefile or in your own 
include files, but it's better if you add to the main repository as a 
plugin and let other people benefit from it.
