Here is another update which builds a partial list for availablePlugins when loading a configuration.  The instVar is called allPlugins, but the UI uses this list as the unassigned, or available plugin list.  When a configuration is loaded, we recalculate the partial list of remaining plugins, so that the list in the UI is filtered. 

This also fixes the drag adn drop, so that if a plugin is already in the target list, then we won't add it again.  This doesn't happen as often with the fix above.
