Comment (by Otto42):

 Sounds like a good idea to me. However, I have some questions.

 First, I'm assuming that this is simply a matter of building the link to
 install the plugin. And then the playground goes and retrieves the plugin
 and installs it as part of the process. Easy enough to do.

 The question I'm wondering about is how does it retrieve the plugin? Does
 it download the zip file separately? Or does it get the plugin files from
 SVN? I'm wondering if this would add any load to the system from getting
 these files for such a temporary use.
