I need to be able to monitor the usage of several Manila plugins on a server. I could add calls to an audit script to the plugins' enable & disable scripts, but a cleaner solution would be to have a single intercept point for such applications.

Currently, the only generic way to track plugin usage is to periodically scan all sites to see what plugins are enabled.

Therefore, I'd like to ask that the following callbacks be added to the appropriate Manila scripts:

* *enablePlugin:* Called at the end of manilaSuite.plugins.enable (/i.e./, after the entire plugin-enable process has successfully completed).
* *disablePlugin:* Called at the end of manilaSuite.plugins.disable (/i.e./, after the entire plugin-disable process has successfully completed).</

In addition to simple monitoring of plugin usage, these callbacks would provide the necessary hooks for automating /a la carte/ billing on commercial hosting servers.
