I'm not sure what you mean by plugins. But maybe you mean this: So I envision that if I start to use xz compression, and xz is not installed, then when you run ctm, it will issue an error like this: "You need to install xz from the port archivers/xz." Similarly, if you try to apply the svn deltas, you will get an error like "You need to install subversion from the port devel/subversion." So the errors would be run time, not compile time.
