Problem is worse with bzr.exe, because in this case there is no available
filesystem location of bzrlib/plugins, because bzrlib packed into library.zip.
So adding plugins for all user (not only for current) is hard by manual,
and really hard with installer.

I'm thinking about including some popular plugin to standalone installer
as additional components, so user can select which one he/she want to
install site-wide. And with current scheme of searching plugins
I simply can't do this.
