Find all plugin (.gp) files


Synopsis
rescan()


Description
This function is used to find all plugin files. It is called automatically when the plugins tool is constructed, so you generally never need to call it. You might call it if you know that some new *.gp files have been created since you started your Glish session.

The rules are that it searches all directories in system.path.include for .gp files that are of the form class_something.gp, where ``class'' is the classname this plugin is to be attached to, and something is a general description (category) of what functionality is provided by the plugin (for example, ``demo'').
