  New Plugin: GNU Screen

  This is a plugin for Gnome Do to work with GNU Screen sessions. GNU Screen
  (command 'screen') is a command line application for managing multi-windowed
  shell sessions that can be detached and reattached for persistency, and offers
  much configurability.

  This adds the Plugin directory ./GNUScreen, and adds the plugin to monodevelop
  as well as to the autotools setup.

When I enabled this plugin it blocked my console and made me pick 1, 2, or 3. I had never launched screen on my laptop before and I guess this is why, but that's a case that needs considered.

You know what would make this one of the best Do plugins ever written? The ability to find ssh sessions, and index screen sessions running on remote hosts. How beautiful would that be?

Whoa ok that sounds bad. What does "pick 1,2, or 3" mean?

I know a plugin as this has many open issues, like

1. default location of the binary (now "screen")
2. configurable permanent arguments(?)
3. how to find the user's terminal app of choice (this hardcoded to "gnome-terminal", I was just looking at other plugins). Perhaps that's one that is simple to sove using Unix.Process..

I have no idea what it meant! I just chose 1 to get it to unblock...

That would actually be a pretty awesome idea. As a heavy user of screen, that would be very useful to me :)

Something to hack on when I have time! That would require finding out
which ssh hosts have key authentication, and then "simply" send "ssh
host 'screen -list'" over the network.. I wouldn't do it without the
user's explicit consent (plugin preferences) though. Anyway, that's
for a later time.

So, this thing that happened first time you used the plugin, do we
have to resolve that to merge this? I don't understand at all what
could have happened, but I can try reproducing it somehow.
