#534 Request addition of HP BladeSystem c-Class plugin
As per mailing list:
I have been working with a team from India that has developed another OpenHPI-based plugin. The plugin manages the Hewlett-Packard BladeSystem c-Class hardware. We would like to propose the addition of
this plugin to the OpenHPI project...
This plug-in is relatively complete in terms of functionality, and has been tested on RHEL 5.1, SLES 10, and Debian Etch & Lenny. HP will provide bug fixes, add new functionality, and be responsible for the maintenance of this plug-in. In addition, I have a personal interest in the Open Source community and expect to have a long-term involvement.

Here is a summary of the changes:
* plugins/oa_soap directory: The new plugin code lives here, including a "t" subdirectory
* plugins/Makefile.am: Included traversal of the oa_soap subdirectory
* configure.ac: Corrected a spelling typo. :-) Added configure section for the oa_soap plugin, dependent on libssl and libxml2
* openhpi.spec.in: Added oa_soap to the package and description sections as with other plugins
* openhpi.conf.example: Added commented example code for this plugin
* README: Added oa_soap plugin as appropriate
Thanks for your consideration,
Bryan Sutula and our team from India

No objection on mailing list in over a week. In a brief IRC discussion with Renier, he encouraged me to check in this plugin, as long as it followed the coding guidelines. I did review these, and made a large number of formatting changes over a few day period. So the plugin is quite different from the posted patch, but not as far as code function, only source code layout.
