I had some thoughts along this line too. I got hung up on dependencies. If there was a central plugin library and a standardized method for setting version numbers and such, an auto- updating mechanism would be really handy. I was thinking more along the lines of an apollo or win32 front-end that interfaced with the library backend such that you could pick your plugins and it would bottle them up for you. Re-running the app would check for updates and notify you of any changes to any of the plugins or dependencies so you can decide how to handle it.
