Done in the 4 dump calls (as file and zip, as html and mimified).
For SetupWiki I decided not to prevent from fatals.

The only victim is the FoafViewer plugin which as external requirement.
I changed the FoafViewer plugin to return just an error message if the 
necessary pear library is not installed.

Fixed for FoafViewer and GooglePlugin, which are the only which crash.
(esp. SOAP is a good candidate to crash!)
But no special error handlers for plugin calls.

BTW: The sf.net mailinglist seem to be behind a lot.
Maybe it's the current netsky attack which fill the mail queues.
