how to activate in_tail_path plugin

[ruud]

hi group,

in order to insert path information into records, the most clean solution seems the in_tail_path plugin.

I installed the gem, but I can't seem to be able to activate it. I changed my td-agent config according to the documentation of the plugin, but at startup, td-agent keeps saying the corresponding plugin type (in_tail) is unknow. Although the gem is read:

Has anybody who has used this plugin a working config file example for me?
Who can explain how the type specification in the config (in this case: tail_path) relates to the plugin specification: how is the proper plugin picked by td-agent?

Thank you for letting me know. 

I found a silly bug on in_tail_path plugin, and fixed it and released as v0.0.3. 

Can you try it?
