Installation Instructions:

1. Extract "create-layer-mask-from.py" from zip archive to the ".../.gimp-2.x/plug-ins" directory.
2. If you're on a UNIX system, make sure "create-layer-mask-from.py" is executable.
3. Once you have saved the file in your plug-ins folder, if you are already running GIMP, close and reopen it.
4. If you have done this correctly, the scripts will appear in the menu under: "<Image>/Layer/Mask/Create Layer Mask from..." and "<Layers>/Create Layer Mask from...".

This plug-in requires Python!
If you have the "Filters > Python-Fu > Console" menu item you are all set. If not, install Python support for GIMP.

Tested with GIMP 2.8.
I hope this plug-in will be useful for someone else.
