Thanks for the explanation.  So we're saying that a 
jquery_plugins.module is needed to control the use of the jQuery 
plugin.  Perhaps uploading the plugin via the file upload process and 
allowing the jQuery plugin to live in files/jquery/ or something like 
that?  Then delete the plugin file from files/jquery/ to deactivate it?

Again forgive my ignorance on this matter.  I just don't want users 
needing two different activate/deactivate menus and since jQuery is 
part of core; every user will eventually need to use it.  Do any of 
those plugins create a need to modify a database?  It will be worse if 
yes because then we definitely should provide a .install file just to 
do the un/install of the pieces and parts.
