Even worse, there are multiple versions of the same plugins and some that 
will prevent SM from working. The Spell check plugin will break your system.

So the archive should be updated with only working versions and an 
installer script that will let you select the ones you want and the 
destination. This is a huge time consumer, selecting then taracking down 
which plugins are broken or don't work with other plugins.

I suggest that the plugins going into the archive are ones the work with 
current version of the software or not be included. Some quality control 
effort at least.
