Sorry for the double reply.  just wanted to address that install-all issue
separately.

Yep thats the way I left it :)

yes this is correct, but the plugin doesn't necessarily have to be a dir.

I'll take a peak.

I would maybe like the liberty to do both.  The user might want to just install
one plugin, so he will use `yum install firstaidkit-plugin-lvm` but if he wants
a system wide rescue/check he will do a `yum install firstaidkit-plugin-all`.
