 NOTE1: Using mythvideo as an example here, applies ot others as well.
 NOTE2: my system is installed to /usr, latest SVN (8489).
 NOTE3: no plugins are installed! - just base myth.

 if (eg) folder /usr/share/mythtv/mythvideo/ exists (even if empty) menu
 item appears in frontend 'Utilities/Setup'->'Videos Manager'.  Navigating
 to that option fails, no warning/output given in GUI.

 'mythfrontend -v all' log shows:
 2006-01-04 13:14:34.028 MythPlugin::Init() dlerror:
 /usr/lib/mythtv/plugins/liblibmythvideo.so: cannot open shared object
 file: No such file or directory
 2006-01-04 13:14:34.028 Unable to initialize plugin 'mythvideo'.
 2006-01-04 13:14:34.029 Unable to configure plugin 'mythvideo': not
 initialized

 Suggestions for resolution:
 More thorough/complete test for existance of a plugin than just a
 'directory exists' test, or possibly have MythPlugin init errors displayed
 to OSD.
