       This is the directory (or directories) where Smarty will look for the
       plugins that it needs. Default is
       <filename class="directory">"plugins"</filename> under the
       <link linkend="constant.smarty.dir">SMARTY_DIR</link>. If you
       supply a relative path, Smarty will first look under the
       <link linkend="constant.smarty.dir">SMARTY_DIR</link>, then
       relative to the cwd (current working directory), then relative to the PHP
       include_path. If $plugins_dir is an array of directories, Smarty will
       search for your plugin in each plugin directory in the order they are
       given.

         <para>
          For best performance, do not setup your $plugins_dir to have to use
          the PHP include path. Use an absolute pathname, or a path relative
          to SMARTY_DIR or the cwd.
