Installing third party plugins

Plugins are perl modules and should be installed somewhere in the perl module search path. See the @INC list at the end of the output of perl -V for a list of the directories in that path. All plugins are in the IkiWiki::Plugin namespace, so they go in a IkiWiki/Plugin subdirectory inside the perl search path. For example, if your perl looks in /usr/local/lib/site_perl for modules, you can locally install ikiwiki plugins to /usr/local/lib/site_perl/IkiWiki/Plugin
