+ * Sudo has been refactored to use modular framework that can
+   support third-party policy and I/O logging plugins.  The default
+   plugin is "sudoers" which provides the traditional sudo
+   functionality.  See the sudo_plugins manual for details on the
+   plugin interface and the sample plugin for a simple example.
