I personally would not pre-ship any plugin with beaver. It's up to the 
package maintainer of the distribution to decide which plugins they 
should use. That reminds me of something else: at the moment the plugins 
"must" compiled withing the plugins directory (as the path's in the 
Makefile are a little bit hard-coded). That must be changed, but I had 
no idea how to solve this nice. My idea was to add a command line option 
which outputs the resource directory and in this resource directory 
there is the Makefile. This somewhat looks like the pkg-config stuff. 
The other idea was to write a script for pkg-config but that's probably 
not a good idea.
