Moodle Plugins Directory: HTMLArea Toolbar Extensions

Overview

This (relatively small) patch to Moodle 1.9.x 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)
