-Would it be possible to make the installation location for the external plugins (those talked to via xmlrpc) configurable? Currently, they are installed into (and later expected to be in) /usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins. For the Fedora package (which I maintain), I move them to /usr/libexec/ikiwiki/plugins.
