Description
This is somewhat related to #149 and #371,
When syncing settings across multiple machines -e.g., with GNU stow + git- there is no clean way to sync installed plugins and their settings. Right now I can only think of 2 ways:
- Sync also the folder
Plugins/Third-party(It feels very dirty). - Manually install and configure the plugins.
It would be great to be able to auto-install plugins from settings when fman starts, just like Sublime Text manages its plugins with the Package Control.sublime-settings file.

Research direction
Start by reviewing related issues #149 and #371, then trace how fman loads settings and third-party plugins during startup. The issue does not name files or tests; done would mean settings can describe plugins and fman can install and configure them automatically across machines.
