-- InfoDump.lua

--[[
Loads plugins' Info.lua and dumps its g_PluginInfo (or gPluginInfo) into various text formats
This is used for generating plugin documentation for the forum and for GitHub's INFO.md files

This script can be used in two ways:
Executing "lua InfoDump.lua" will go through all subfolders and dump each Info.lua file it can find
	Note that this mode of operation requires LuaRocks with LFS installed; instructions are printed
	when the prerequisites are not met.
Executing "lua InfoDump.lua PluginName" will load the Info.lua file from PluginName's folder and dump
only that one plugin's documentation. This mode of operation doesn't require LuaRocks
