Just saw a new js library in master called openlayers which is 1 MiB minified - I guess its for OpenGIS?

Since I am a great fan of small and minimal software and knowing that probably many of the pma userbase won't be needing certain features such as opengis, wouldn't it be worth considering to build some of the gsoc projects as a pluggable module?

Building some plugin infrastructure itself would be probably worth of separate project. However this is something what should be designed properly and probably is not really task for a student with no experience with our code.

Anyway plugins are good for reducing standard code size, but will also keep people on shared hosting without these features, because the preinstalled version won't include it...
