+=head2 Plugin support ***EXPERIMENTAL***
+
+Plugins are objects that implement any of currently eight methods:
+
+ pre_get
+ post_get
+ pre_make
+ post_make
+ pre_test
+ post_test
+ pre_install
+ post_install
+
+The C<plugin_list> configuration parameter holds a list of strings of
+the form
+
+ Modulename=arg0,arg1,arg2,arg3,...
+
+At run time, each listed plugin is instantiated as a singleton object
+by running the equivalent of this pseudo code:
+
+ my $plugin = <string representation from config>;
+ <generate Modulename and arguments from $plugin>;
+ my $p = $instance{$plugin} ||= Modulename->new($arg0,$arg1,...);
+
+The generated singletons are kept around from instantiation until the
+end of the shell session. <plugin_list> can be reconfigured at any
+time at run time. While the cpan shell is running, it checks all
+activated plugins at each of the 8 reference points listed above and
+runs the respective method if it is implemented for that object. The
+method is called with the active CPAN::Distribution object passed in
+as an argument.

Distributions on CPAN usually behave according to what we call the
CPAN mantra. Or since the advent of Module::Build we should talk about

-A hashref with one or more of the keys C<distribution>, C<modules>,
+A hashref with one or more of the keys C<distribution>, C<module>,
C<perl>, C<perlconfig>, and C<env> that specify whether a document is
targeted at a specific CPAN distribution or installation.
Keys prefixed with C<not_> negates the corresponding match.
See the source for details.
+=item use_inst($module)
+
+Similary to L<has_inst()> tries to load optional library but also dies if
+library is not available
+
=item has_usable($module)
Returns true if the module is installed and in a usable state. Only
distributions, authors, and bundles. If the object already exists, this
method returns the object; otherwise, it calls the constructor.
+=item frontend()

+=item frontend($new_frontend)
+
+Getter/setter for frontend object. Method just allows to subclass CPAN.pm.
