Details:

This task encourages the introduction of a new function weechat.unregister to
the script plugin API, which unloads the current plugin. At the time beeing
there is no counterpart to the function weechat.register.

This function would be especialy helpful if a plugin cannot operate correctly
due to the lack of a specific requirement.
If a requirement is not met, it should be reported to the user. Therefore the
plugin has to be registered in weechat. At this point the plugin cannot be
automaticaly unloaded though it isn't of any use.

Here's an illustration with a pseudo-script in python-notation what it could
be like:

weechat.register(NAME, VERSION, ENDFUNCTION, DESCRIPTION)
try:
    checkRequirements()
except:
    weechat.prnt("Requirement <xy> is not met","")
    weechat.prnt("solution: do stuff","")
    weechat.unregister("Plugin has not been registered in weechat")
