Location of plugins

[Philippe Lhoste]

Windows user here...
I have set BZR_HOME to point to a data folder in another partition.
I have seen the plugins should go to %BZR_HOME%/bazaar/2.0/plugins
So I installed some plugins, like extmerge and xmloutput.
Works fine.
I am a bit surprised that Bzr Explorer installs in Bazaar install dir, but why not.
I saw that Bazaar 2.0 came with xmloutput plugin out of the box. Good. It has version 
0.8.5 while I had version 0.8.3.
When I type bzr plugins, it mentions only the version 0.8.3. Why not, some hierarchy have 
to be setup.
But I have some suggestions.

Perhaps the installer should detect previous versions of plugins in user dir and ask which 
version to keep/install.

And/or, perhaps the plugins command should detect there are two instances, a system one 
and a user one, and report both (as a warning?), indicating which one will be used.

I just deleted the old version and I got my upgrade, but since the "principle of least 
surprise" is popular these days, I thought I should report the issue.
