Plugin schema changes

There is a new event, 'CheckSchema'. Plugin developers can hook this event to check the schema for your plugin at the "right" time. A typical example:

function onCheckSchema { $schema = Schema::get; $schema->ensureTable('person',                            array(new ColumnDef('id', 'integer', null, false, 'PRI'), new ColumnDef('name', 'varchar', 255), new ColumnDef('picture', 'blob'), new ColumnDef('age', 'integer', null, true, null, 25))); return true; }

You can see the constructor params for ColumnDef in lib/schema.php.

This is currently run either on every page view or only when checkschema.php is run, depending on configuration; once a plugin installation interface is ready, the event should fire on plugin activation.
