So just to reafirm on the installation location - this is in the cache
folder today (and will need to be for 7.3) because of the scope of
Extension Installer agreed for 7.3 - i.e. I agreed with Michael we
would add it to 7.3 as long as it was in a plugin and made minimal
changes to the main server code.

To put it in another location requires changes to the server code and
the installer code on a per platform basis and so requires work from
Michael and others.  We can't use the existing plugins folder on
certain platforms because it is not writable by the application - even
worse on Vista it would be virtualised by UAC depending on the user the
server is running as.  So we have work to do to pick a different
location and support this in the server code.  That said I agree it
would be preferable, but I am thinking about a location which is
different from the manually installed plugins for the above reason.

I would prefer to iron out a couple of rough edges and add the authors
stuff for 7.3, then we can see what we can do for 7.3.1, but we can't
make many more changes now.
