Reality check. This are the plugins that are currently shipped:
ftp An FTP server.
telnet A simple, telnet-based remote debugging service.
socks A SOCKSv4 proxy service.
manhole-old An interactive remote debugger service.
portforward A simple port-forwarder.
web A general-purpose web server which can serve from a
filesystem or application resource.
inetd An inetd(8) replacement.
news A news server.
xmpp-router An XMPP Router server
words A modern words server
dns A domain name server.
mail An email service
manhole An interactive remote debugger service accessible via
telnet and ssh and providing syntax coloring and basic line
editing functionality.
conch A Conch SSH service.
procmon A process watchdog / supervisor
Why do we care about complex quoting and linebreaks for descriptions? If
you can't remember, just keep typing and let it get wrapped.
