I think plugman or someone at a prepare stage when a platform installs could warn and try (network could be offline) to get a compatible version. Note that there's an interesting problem here: Suppose I have 1 plugin, and I install version 20 of it to my project. I then install platform A which is happy w/ version 20. I then install platform B which only works w/ version 19, so something automatically installs version 19 for this platform. If the API between the two versions isn't compatible (and we don't have an api validator to tell the developer if it is), then the resulting app won't work properly on that platform.
