Change ComparePlus to ComparePlugin #308

Notepad++ does not load the plugin when the parent folder does not have the same name.

When performing an offline installation of this plugin into Notepad++ I noticed that the plugin would not load unless the name matched. ComparePlugin works, but when the parent folder is called ComparePlus the plugin does not load.

I am confused, there are only releases for ComparePlugin, but ComparePlus build notes also. I do not know which is the correct way to offline install this plugin.

@aidancrane ,

This repo contains actually two Notepad++ plugins: ComparePlugin and ComparePlus. ComparePlugin is the old and well-known compare plugin - this repo contains its latest release and source but I have stopped supporting it because I made ComparePlus which is its successor. So the repo is and will be mainly the home of ComparePlus. The confusion comes from the fact that ComparePlus is still in development and hasn't been officially released yet. It will be done in a week and because of that I have changed all the info here to target ComparePlus.

Please read carefully the README.md, the Installation section where is explained how to manually install either ComparePlus or ComparePlugin.
