* Patch from Thomas Schwinge to switch from --svn to --rcs=svn, etc,
to pave the way for adding other RCS support. This also changes the setup files, where before they had svn => 1 or svn => 0, now they have rcs => "svn" or rcs => "". * Add a debian/NEWS file with upgrade notes. * Load whatever rcs module is specified, so new ones can be just dropped in as plugins and work. * Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.

+Plugins can be used to add additional features to ikiwiki. Ikiwiki's

The ikiiki package includes some standard plugins that are installed and
by default. These include [[inline]], [[pagecount]], and [[brokenlinks]].
Of these, [[inline]] is enabled by default.
