Motivation:
Commands like 'xrdcp' and 'xrdfs' require plugins to provide some
functionality, perhaps most prominently when authenticating. However,
the list of required plugins and the names of these plugin's targets
changes over time.
It would be convenient if the build system were to automate building a
useful subset of plugins (perhaps all plugins) by using a constant
(phony) target 'plugins'. This would facilitate creating build-tree
binaries with a command like:
make plugins xrdcp xrdfs
Modification:
Add support for 'plugins' phony target to which plugins may add
themselves.
Add initial support for this 'plugins' target that builds XrdCryptossl,
XrdSecpwd, XrdSecsss, XrdSecunix, XrdSecgsi, XrdSecgsiGMAPDN and
XrdSecgsiAUTHZVO, and any dependencies thereof.
Result:
Is is easier to build functional client applications that run from
within the build-tree.
