 As per a thread started by Ozh on wp-hackers, it would be a good idea to
 include a default index.php in [source:trunk/wp-content/plugins] ala the
 one included in [source:trunk/wp-content] in order to prevent unwanted
 listing of the plugins directory.  Preventing this will preclude attackers
 from gaining insight into potentially flawed plugins that could compromise
 the security of a WP-powered blog.
