I've updated the PluginBuilder plugin to generate a metadata file. At present it contains:

----------------------
# This file contains metadata for your plugin. Beginning
# with version 1.8 this is the preferred way to supply information about a
# plugin. The current method of embedding metadata in __init__.py will
# be supported until version 2.0

# This file should be included when you package your plugin.

name=Metadata Test
description=test of metadata generation
version=0.1
qgisMinimumVersion=1.0
class_name=MetadataTest

If you have thoughts about other items the PluginBuilder can or should capture let me know.
