Seriously, folks - think about plugins in other systems.
Plugins need to be that - logically, I expect them to be per web2py
installation (not as a component within an application);
Logically, I also _might_ like to see them versionsed, so that pluginA has a
DEFAULT version which links to a specific version (without talking about the
mechanism for that "linking").
