First of all, compiling of statics shouldn't be a required step. No one 
does this during development.
For production-ready plugins, the compiled files should already be 
included in the GitHub repos and installation of plugin should just be a 
matter of downloading it. The API should then take care of informing the 
UI what plugins are installed.
The npm install step is mostly one-time.
The grunt build step for the plugin should basically just compile the 
staticfiles of the plugin and not the whole project. Besides with one 
file this is not extendable -- for N plugins we would build 2^N files 
with all possible combinations of including the plugins? :)
