 * To start: the IPN script is NOT functional. It _does_ record some parameters 
   in the database, but it doesn’t post back to the IPN service correctly, and a
   multitude of attempts are made by the IPN system, for the same transaction.
 * The plugin doesn’t really provide anything for donation-based sites.
 * It inserts a message on pages “This site is being monetized by the are paypal
   plugin” or something to that effect when `wp_footer()` is called, which is obnoxious.

 * You can turn off the monetized link in the admin panel
