Ideally you could do that directly from the "Plugins" panel in WebAdmin (and it should be fairly simple even, at least providing a simple interface without XHR-based progress monitoring etc). However, the major problem with the whole install-through-the-web scheme is that you currently need to restart the server to get the changes properly recognized. I wonder whether we'd be able to fix that...
