Thinking some more... I don't think we really can do this on plugin features.

Take ladspa for example, on my system that plugin provides 173 plugin
features...  If we are to store 173 times some
paths/extensions/files/timestamps which are ALL identical it seems a bit
overkill, let alone grow the registry to an insane size which will mean taking
longer to scan many times (173 times in this case) the same files to make sure
they haven't changed.

So we need a plugin-global way of providing this information.
