I won't hazard an opinion as the which approach is superior, but I am
happy to report that your (Ian's) new build mechanism worked fine for
me, requiring a minimal (one line) Makefile.inc in order to convince
UnixOSProcessPlugin to participate. This one-liner pertains to twiddling
the include path, and would not be required by other plugins, so it
seemed quite appropriate to localize the change there.

I'll have to confess that I did cheat by reading HowToBuildFromSource in
advance, so the process may be more difficult in the general case ;)
