Plugins in use?
when compiling an installer, makensisw runs down a list of all available plugins. (i wonder a bit about the purpose of doing that.) i was wondering if there's a way to list all plugins used by an installer, but the makensis options have list an answer for that.
I suppose you could run 7za to decompile the script (if that is possible with 7za) and then parse the script for plug-in calls (again, if possible).
makensis listing the plug-in functions (not just the plug-ins) is very useful because it tells you what is available (i.e. some plug-ins have no read-me) and also tells you if you have built a plug-in properly (e.g. decorated exports).
You could modify NSIS to list used plug-ins (I don't think it'd be too much work).
