[Bf-committers] Long plugin path problem

Hi!
I noticed today that the path of sequence plugins is limited to 80
caracters (name member of the PluginSeq struct) and that strcpy is used
to copy the path in this variable. So the memory is corrupted when the
path for a plugin is longer than 80 characters (that's the case of many
plugins on my system) and the plugin don't work ;-)
An easy fix would be to set a bigger limit (bigger than FILE_MAXDIR
which is quite small and lesser than PATH_MAX on my system). A better
fix should be to use a C++ class for strings ;-)
Thanks,
