The plugin overwrites the original ::pd_menus::update_recentfiles_on_menu
so I guess it's aiming to do something better.

About the -noplugins option: yes it would be nice, and btw, I've just
realised that the planned evolution of plugins-plugin to use pd::guiprefs
instead of "/disabled" folders cannot be done in a plugin form but needs
the mechanism to go into pd-gui.tcl
This sounds like a good case to overhaul the plugin loading code a bit.

What do you think?
