[pLog-svn] dynamic plugins

[Jon Daley]

 	Those are the ones I care about at least...

The other ones that I know of are the blogstatistics and whoonline sorts 
of things.  Probably shoutbox and poll and things like that have trouble 
too?  I am not sure.

There is probably a way to do the google plugin with javascript, but the 
others are harder, I think.
