Ok, Just to maybe prevent more people from doing work.  I already have
ports of these complete.  The reason that they are not yet committed is
that when enabling/disabling plugins via ccsm, it is causing compiz to
segfault.  I haven't yet tracked the root cause of this.  As long as I
enable/disable plugins via gconf editor it's all reasonably stable.

If people want me to commit it in it's current state, I'm fine with
that.  Perhaps someone else can track down the cause of the segfault.  I
just didn't want hundreds of e-mails telling me it's broken...
