Details
Having only the version field as mandatory in info.pl is not very useful. This doesn't tell you what the extension is and what its purpose is. We should add the name and description fields as mandatory. In the future, this will let us list (and maybe enable/disable) them from a CGI script.

Also, this will let us verify that extensions are installed correctly--that is, "name" should be the case-sensitive name of the directory that they locate themselves in under the "extensions" directory. (At least, until I figure out some way to load modules safely into the global namespace from extensions without having to include their extension name in the package.)

With the way extensions work now, they have a mandatory NAME, but no description yet.
