This class is used for generic plugin-related functionality. The plugin manager has a list of all
plugins, can enable or disable plugins, manages hooks and in-game console commands.</p>
<p>
Plugins can be identified by either the PluginFolder or PluginName. Note that these two can differ,
refer to <a href="http://forum.mc-server.org/showthread.php?tid=1877">the forum</a> for detailed discussion.
<p>
There is one instance of cPluginManager in MCServer, to get it, call either
{{cRoot|cRoot}}:Get():GetPluginManager() or cPluginManager:Get() function.</p>

Note that some functions are "static", that means that they are called using a dot operator instead
of the colon operator. For example:
<pre class="prettyprint lang-lua">
cPluginManager.AddHook(cPluginManager.HOOK_CHAT, OnChatMessage);
