+tdc.py will look for plugins in a directory plugins off the cwd.
+Make a set of numbered symbolic links from there to the actual plugins.
+Eg:
+
+tdc.py
+plugin-lib/
+plugins/
+ __init__.py
+ 10-rootPlugin.py -> ../plugin-lib/rootPlugin.py
+ 20-valgrindPlugin.py -> ../plugin-lib/valgrindPlugin.py
+ 30-nsPlugin.py -> ../plugin-lib/nsPlugin.py
+
+
+tdc.py will find them and use them.
+
+
+rootPlugin
+ Check if the uid is root. If not, bail out.
+
+valgrindPlugin
+ Run the command under test with valgrind, and produce an extra set of TAP results for the memory tests.
+ This plugin will write files to the cwd, called vgnd-xxx.log. These will contain
+ the valgrind output for test xxx. Any file matching the glob 'vgnd-*.log' will be
+ deleted at the end of the run.
+
+nsPlugin
+ Run all the commands in a network namespace.
