[plug] Insert one file into another

[Ben New]

Yeah I just re-read the man page and it seems the '-e' option does 
basically nothing when there's only one of them. Not sure if there's any 
difference between the three versions below, in terms of efficiency. I'm 
sure with a few tests on 10MB files it would become pretty obvious 
pretty quickly if one was better than the others ;-)
