How should eclipse be organized in the ports tree?

This is certainly much closer to what is in the existing system (given
that the jar files would probably better be in plugins/files/*.jar).
The name 'meta-eclipse' would probably be less confusing to me personally
as 'eclipse-plugins-loader' or something, 'meta' is a term that can
mean everything or nothing.  And if you change 'eclipsemainv' to just
'eclipseY.Z' and 'plugins' to 'eclipse-plugins' then that's very similar
to what we have now.

Then there's the matter of whether all this needs to be its own
category but I don't think I am going to try to talk you out of that
idea.  I'm not too fond of it, personally.
