it would definitely have the same effect. i'd still prefer it the other way 
round, because it's more consistent with the way RKWard handles its own 
pluginmap collection already, so you don't have to learn something new when 
you want to work on plugins in the official release (e.g. integrate yours into 
it).

also, i'd find it quite intuitive if the main file was called 
"index.pluginmap" (or maybe "all.pluginmap") consequently, like, say, 
webservers look for "index.html" and don't deliver all HTML files they find in 
a folder. or, if i saw a folder with several files and one being named 
"index", i'd immediately have an idea how they are related. i'm not so sure 
what i'd think of files with strange looking names ;-)

sure. i consider the things that are working now already a huge step forward! 
i'm really happy with the design. don't forget to mention the feature in the 
release notes ;-)

btw, i might get my hands on a Mac at the end of the month, not brand-new but 
dedicated exclusively to porting RKWard. more on that when it actually 
happend...
