[development] Views custom style plugin

[ad4m]

Thanks Earl, you were right. I just added the 'path' item to the plugin
definition array and it works.
Though I think it's not clear where the files should be placed. According
the specification the path is optional and should be provided only if the
handler files are placed in different directory the the
module_name.views.inc file.

Kindest regards,
