What if we note somewhere all the extensions/plugins so that we know which 
have to be rebuilt?

personally, even if it's downloadable, i disagree that this is not wanted. for 
example, in some environments access to internet could be restricted, but for 
example a local mirror could be available.

i believe we should package as much extensions as possible.
