Well, if I understand it correctly, MPEM is a separate program rather than a built-in plugin management.

I think this is possibly the wrong approach, but similar to what we have at the moment. I think we need all plugin management to be built-into MP, but that's only my opinion.

As I've thought more about this, ensuring that the skin files for a plugin are installed is a smaller task and while it could potentially be handled by MPEI/MPEM, it is probably better as a discrete section of code in MP.

To me, the important thing is that it happens, and if we can get a working solution in time for 1.6.0, then it doesn't matter whether it is MPEM or an enhancement to MP.

Maybe I am right, maybe I am wrong, but what we have right now is far from ideal, so something that fixes all of the problems is needed. There are multiple ways to solve the problem, and any one of them done well will be great.
