Overview
This (relatively small) patch to Moodle core (to: lib/weblib.php) enable
SysAdmin to add folders of extra functionality plugins to the HTMLAREA internal editor
without the need to change (patch) any of the lib/editor/htmlarea/htmlarea.php code
for each plugin (toolbar icon) that they wish to add.
(Actually, very similar to the way we can extend Moodle anywhere else...)
Plus, it enables the SysAdmin to control which plugins are visible (system wide)
using a "setting" configuration form. (from the system menu block)

- AskBloom - Help teachers setup a more sophisticated instruction to students as defined by BLOOM
- Resize editor - Extend the size of the editor when it is very small
- AudioRecorder - Records Audio comments and embed this into the text (+Flash player)
