Description

InstallPlugin currently suggests all plugins that are available. Some plugins however (eg. MacOpen) are only available on certain platforms. There should be a way for plugins to specify which platforms they do (and do not) support, and the InstallPlugin command should take this into account when presenting the user with installable plugins.

Research direction

Start at the InstallPlugin command and trace how available plugins are discovered and presented. Check how the MacOpen plugin identifies its supported platform, then define a plugin platform declaration and verify that plugins unavailable on the current OS are excluded from the installable list.
