Since r57144 menu can contain an entry which will show the list of
installed addons. In the current version, the addons entry is included
in Search module (in module tree) if some addons are installed.

g.extension is needed to list installed addons. If this is a problem,
installed addons can be retrieved from XML in addons directory
(calling `g.extension -a` is simpler, but parsing XML is also
possible).

Some days ago there was a bug in usage of find_program function which
in turn caused triggering of compilation by g.extension. This was
causing the compilation in current directory when starting wxGUI (at
least under linux). This is fixed now.
