That kind of PITA, for every new plugin that is installed, but perhaps
the bigger problem is what to do about optional extensions. The
plugin may run without them, but for all you know, it may run in a way
that is not really satisfactory for most real users of it. Warn them
at install time and they'll certainly have forgotten by the time the
plugin actually gets used, or at least will be unable to recognise the
symptom.
