"Plugin not found" due to missing README

#36

I'm puzzled why this hasn't mentioned before. Does no-one install via ./script/plugin install?

./script/plugin install doesn't work because install.rb is trying to write README to stdout, but that files been renamed to README.textile (back in August). So install.rb fails which makes commands/plugin.rb:run_install_hook() fail which makes the entire install fail with the message:

Plugin not found: ["git://github.com/technoweenie/restful-authentication.git/"]

<Errno::ENOENT: No such file or directory - /path/to/myapp/vendor/plugins/restful-authentication/README>

    I wonder how many plugins hosted by github now don't have plain text README file. The simple solution is to add a plain text README of course, but then any changes to README.textile would need to be propagated to the plain text version.

    If there's lots of plugins being hosted on github and using textile formatted READMEs now does it make sense to either a) modify the plugin script to strip textile and display a plain text version of the README or b) just have the plugin script output the textile formatted README as is?

    If anyone has a preference I'm happy to submit a patch... at the moment I'm just keeping an empty README in my fork.

    Oh, one other option, so obvious as to be overlooked. Just remove the install.rb file since nothing really needs to be done by the plugin install hook.
