We have had issues with plugin support being on by default in a couple
build instances now, and this does not fix when we pull out autoconf that it
wont reappear with cmake. I'd like to see us change the defaults here and make
--with-plugin the optional to enable and having WITH_PLUGIN=no so it is
disabled by default
