Note we updated elisa to the latest 0.5.18 release and one modification
is that the module no longer ships the /usr/bin/elisa-get binary. So
I removed this interface from the Exported Interface table:
/usr/bin/elisa-get Volatile Manages elisa plugins
Instead elisa now has a new plugin management system where the user
is able to get new plugins directly via the elisa GUI rather than
needing to run a standalone script.
