Thanks Xavier,

After some poking around I found that idea.properties (located in the bin 
folder) lets me specify an external plugins folder.  I'll give that a shot 
and see how it goes with the next patch.  Hopefully idea.properties doesn't 
get replaced as well as part of the patch process.

Relevant portion of idea.properties:
 #---------------------------------------------------------------------
# Uncomment this option if you want to customize path to user installed 
plugins folder. Make sure you're using forward slashes. 
#--------------------------------------------------------------------- 
# idea.plugins.path=${idea.config.path}/plugins
