Is there a way to UNLOAD a plugin – short of reverting changes in SVN?

If you just want to remove the plugin, in general just remove the  
folder from vendor/plugins. If the plugin has put files in other  
places via it’s install.rb then hope that they’ve provided the  
corresponding uninstall.rb 🙂
