+it would be probably better to make sure the build system of Activestate
+can handle it. See #508 for details.

 There is a Dist::Perl::Padre in the works that will allow us to create a Perl distribution that has padre already installed.

 No idea. Maybe the above Dist::Perl::XL will work there too.

 Some of the plugins will be distributed by the downstream distributors and/or will be packaged in the Dist::Perl::Padre 
 and Dist::Perl::XL distributions. Others will be able to be either installed from CPAN or will be packaged as PAR packages.
