No, seriously, I think it is a thin line between keeping stuff simple 
and giving a lot of flexibility.

An idea would be to change the piX lines to condensed (i.e. 
filesystem-can-read-me) paths.
So if I call my first plugin "Ultra Plugin" it would be pi_ultraplugin.
Like the kickstarter does it with the extKey.
Allowing to enter the piKey manually will result in chaos.
I'm talking about spaces in directories, studly-caps and so on...

What do you think?
