Consider reading jquery plugin manifest files #135

Things to consider:

How it it possible to resolve the dependency IDs, does their repo support a search API to translate to git location?
Maybe the version ranges would be more to handle than necessary.
What does their registry look like? Store code or just pointers to code, accessible via API. Ideally the latter.

Going to close this out as it is unlikely to happen. The main idea behind volo is using github for the registry, so drifting from that muddles the message too much. If someone researches and finds that there is a pretty easy mapping to github locations for the plugins, this could be reconsidered, but closing for now.
