One thing (nothwithstanding themes) will be that the user will be able
to put all plugins into a hierarchical tree by simply adding a "path"
to the -P option. That way, plugins can be grouped into things like
"Games", "Tools" or whatever. This will, I hope, make handling lots
of plugins much easier.
