Log:
  Re-roll pluginloader entries in distinfo.

  The port broke in the beginning of February when upstream uploaded a new
  pluginloader tarball to MASTER_SITES.

  Since the tarball is unversioned and only contains prebuilt Windows binaries,
  here's an attempt at explaining what happened (thanks to Grzegorz Junka for
the
  investigation):

  - Pipelight seems to be really bad at communication. The "News" section on
the
    website says 0.2.8 is the latest version.
  - The "Compile Pipelight" section says 0.2.8.1 is the latest version.
  - 0.2.8.2 was tagged in BitBucket in October 2015 but was never announced
    anywhere on the website, and the project does not seem to have a mailing
    list.
  - The pluginloader tarballs, which contain prebuilt Windows binaries for
    Pipelight's src/windows directory, were not updated at the time 0.2.8.2 was
    tagged (the SHA256 checksums match those in the 0.2.8.1 directory in
    MASTER_SITES). This only happened in February 2016, which broke our
distinfo.

  Note that it is unclear why the pluginloader tarballs were not generated in
  October, and since those are binary blobs it is still possible that they do
not
  correspond to their respective source files. In the future, it would be good
to
  build those binaries with our MinGW ports instead of relying on those blobs.
