this is completely optional now for skeleton creation, so about=NULL is ok. it 
will skip the creation of the DESCRIPTION file and therefore the package 
cannot be built, though.

there is now rk.build.plugin(). i also changed the return value of 
rk.plugin.skeleton() from invisible(NULL) to the plugin directory, to make 
this possible:

  plugin.dir <- rk.plugin.skeleton("MyPlugin", dialog=my.dialog)
  rk.build.plugin(plugin.dir)

i implemented some simple checking for package validity on the R level now 
already (check=TRUE), but the rest is yet to come.
