What do people think about making install-plugin not only install
headers to build new plugins, but also install all plugins that
have been contributed up to the code freeze for the release.
First, it would make testing the plugin interface and the plugins easier.
Second, if the version of a plugin available with the release is good enough
for the needs of a user, (s)he can try out without having to install -
or having to have installed - the plugins separately.
Third, when someone uses an experimental plugin for a while and then upgrades
some time later to a newer gcc release, it is useful when an updated plugin
version that works with the new gcc release comes with the new gcc
distribution.
