Hi, I’m a plugin developer, and I want users to let install the  
plugin using the following syntax.

script/plugin install [http://kopal.googlecode.com/hg/](http://kopal.googlecode.com/hg/)

However it installs it in “vendor/plugins/hg/” directory while I want  
it to be installed in “vendor/plugins/kopal/” directory. How do I do  
that?  
I tried passing “–name”, but it doesn’t work.

- thanks
