Comment:

 Okay, I see a problem with plugins.php in bp-default.  And I believe I see
 what modemlooper was referring to.

 In bp-default, specifically `/members/single/home.php`, there is a call to
 plugins.php, however the actual `/members/single/plugins.php` in bp-
 default is a full template (with get_header() / get_footer() calls) rather
 than a template part.

 However, bp-legacy uses `plugins.php` as a template part.  So there is a
 discrepency between bp-default and bp-legacy.  The problem is going to be
 addressing this so both bp-default and bp-legacy reference the same thing.

 A solution I see is to leave bp-default's plugins.php alone for backpat,
 but introduce a new file called `generic.php`, which acts as a template
 part for plugins.  To be compatible with bp-legacy, I have renamed
 `plugins.php` to `generic.php`.  `01.patch` illustrates what I mean.

 If the other devs agree, we'll need to do the same thing with the groups
 component.

 I know this is a late change in the game, but I think it's necessary.
