I imagine that the plugin versioning system didn't work because you're
using CVS so the version numbers havn't changed even though the classes
have.

Incidentally, when we have a stable plugin API (at version 0.5?), are we
going to stop putting new major and minor version numbers in the
plugins, or are we going to keep requiring that the plugin version
numbers match the core version numbers.  When are we going to relax this
requirement (perhaps we should allow plugins to specify ranges of core
versions they work with (eg, >=0.7 <=1.0).

This sounds like a reasonable solution to me.
