It is not currently part of the build process; if you look through the error
message that the plugin generated, it tells you the command to run in order
to register it in the database (i.e. AlgorithmImplementation):

Obviously, this *should* be part of the build process, but I think it's not a
bad thing that it isn't (at this stage) because we still haven't formalized
our procedure for testing plugins (both in terms of 3.x schema compliance and
also in terms of bug testing/automatic regression testing.)  As plugins are
brought into reasonable compliance with the new system perhaps we can add them
to the list of plugins that are automatically registered in the database at
build time.  Steve, what do you think about this idea?  Is this the right
mechanism to use or should we have another way to indicate that plugins have
not yet been tested/validated?
