Another nice effect of this is the same behavior you get from the
System Preferences app with respect to .prefPane bundles. When you
double click on a plug-in, the app to which it belongs can open it and
ask if you wish to install it, and if so whether to do so for all
users (/Library/Application Support) or just for yourself (~/Library/
Application Support).
This is a very nice end user experience IMHO. It saves them the
trouble of having to navigate through folders they're likely to be
unfamiliar with in order to "install" the plug-in.
