It’s just a text file so you edit with your favourite text editing tools (smalltalk, obviously!) and add another line with the name of your plugin. 

If the plugin is already listed in the *other* plugins.* file then you’d want to remove it as well - ie to change FooPlugin from being built internal to external, delete it from plugins.int and add to plugins.ext

You could very simply try this out by moving pretty much any current plugin from one list to another and running a build, just to convince yourself it works ok. You might also take a look though the assorted plugins.* files in the many `build.*/build*` directories to see a lot of examples. And indeed a lot of cases where a plugin appears to be near-randlomly included or not, something that could do with tidying up. And if you were to conclude that making things tidier and doing test builds was a project worth spending a little time on then you would certainly earn my thanks...
