For a while, I had a small personal gripe that it is not easy to see what plugins are configured to be built and how. That is, I know where
Yes, agree!
I've extended it from

to include all plugins in alphabetical order (and moved informational text down to improve its visibility, as the plugin list is long):

You can find information about MariaDB at http://askmonty.org/wiki/index.php/MariaDB
Remember to check the platform specific part of the reference manual for hints about installing MariaDB on your platform. Also have a look at the files in the Docs directory.
Thank you for choosing MariaDB!

So, what do you think? Too long to be useful?
I think this is a great improvement, thanks! One idea might be to delete the paragraph "Remeber to check ... Docs directory", I am not sure how relevant it is as it refers to the non-free MySQL manual, which we lack.
Need to reorder sections? (yes, it's a bikeshed color question, I know)
I'd switch the plugin section and the "Installation prefix" etc. section (the former always seemed more useful to me).
Or shall I push ?
I'd say yes, with or without my suggested tweaks it's already an improvement. - Kristian.
