Er... If the plugin differs from the 'original' code, then I would tend to
think that the plugin must be fixed, mustn't it? Because there might be
other apps out there apart from the makefile and plugin which use
cscope.po.out rather than cscope.out.po, so changing cscope would break
lots of things. And changing the Makefile will make it only work with the
plugin but would break other cscope-related apps.
