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.
