//! An engine for plugins management
//! This class performs oaa plugin management operations: installing,

//! itself. I supose, a appication has to create a global instance of the class,
//! so all pages (instances of the MainPage class) could receive plugin widgets.

//! This is a separate method, becouse an application should create
//! a PluginManager instance, then connect all its signals, optionally
//! create a view widget, and only after all perform lookup
void defaultLoad( ) ;
//! GUI for the loader.
//! Returns a PluginManagerWidget instance. When called for the first time,
//! creates a new object; after that returns pointer to the same instance.

//! Loads a widget of the plugin with given name
//! Loads a new copy (called twice will return different objects) of the
//! plugin widget. If there is no plugin with given name, returns 0 (also
//! emits errorAppeared(..) with an error description).
//! PluginManager provides ablolutely no control over returned widget;
//! the application should delete it, like all other widgets

//! processes the plugin installation request
//! After successful installatio a newPluginRegistered(..) signal will be
//! emitted. On some error -- errorAppeared(..) will be emitted;
//! 'Installation' means that plgin file (dll or so) will be checked and
//! copied to the 'plugins' directory. Later, in pluginWidget(..) call this
