The problem is that we already have additional data in the plugins. So we 
should be consistent here and remove also the long/short decriptions of the 
option struct and or the plugin vtable and move it to an additional file or 
have everything in the plugin. A mixture of both is simply stupid. I can live 
with both because I can use bcop to generate what I want.
