Well, there are many plugins, and they might depend on many libs, 
perhaps only a special version. As long as you don't install the 
plugins, you would not miss them. Installing *all* from OSGeo4W ended 
for me in a non-working version, because stable and dev versions got 
mixed up.

It would be better if the plugin installer would advise you to rerun the 
OSGeo installer. But if the user has used the standalone installer, he 
would not know what do ...

Not that easy ;-)

Other way would be that the plugin installer comes with the libs by 
itself, and puts them in the site-packages folder if not already there.
