Automate manifest generation #1

@ghost

Description

Plugin authors generate a plugin manifest using the following steps:

  1. Build the plugin application using go, gb or some other development tool.
  2. Run the application with the --manifest=hostName command line flag to print a manifest.
  3. Add the the manifest to a .vim file (example).

These steps must be repeated every time the plugin handler registrations are changed.

This process should be automated in some way. Possible options are:

  • Modify the plugin application to update a .vim file directly instead of printing the manifest to stdout.
  • Create a go generate tool for updating manifests.
  • Modify :UpdateRemotePlugins to work with compiled executables.
