 Some times we need to know some more information about the plugin that
 provided by plugin metadata: This in the header of the plugin file and
 read with get_plugin_data().

 Specially, the most interesting data located at the readme.txt file, is
 the 'Required WordPress Version'.

 A function to get this information would be really needed if we want to
 check the Required WordPress or get the link to the donations page.

 I attached here a patch with the function to be included in the wp-
 admin/includes/plugin.php file. I've been using this function for a while,
 so it is well tested.
