Hi Salvatore,

As per Jim's comments, it looks like testing the plugins as part of quantum is the only option if they are to remain in the repo.  Fair enough.  So is the idea to add plugin-specific dependency files that can then be  referenced by tox.ini?  The alternative would be including plugin dependencies in quantum's *-requires files, but that could packaging grief.

Thanks,
