It just would make it more bloat especially since setting an additional
path for plugin lookup is something most users won't do at all and even
if they probably do it only once, therefore I'm pleading for the prefs
dialog.

Maybe. However I'd say this should go into the documentation not the
plguin manager dialog itself. Though I don't have a strong opinion on
that.
