Crashes on launch - ck8

I've had two reports of this (including yours), and it Doesn't Happen on My MacBook Pro!

Something is going wrong when PeekIt is trying to count and cache formatter plugins. Looks like the Ravenware support folder might not be being created properly and I'm not handling it right. Try deleting your ~/Application Support/Ravenware directory and re-launching.

I'll look into this further. I might also get rid of the qhole seciton of code since I don't think anyone is using the plugin functionality.
