You missed my point. So just to be clear I'm suggesting this:
Keep the plugins as zips BUT give them a different file extension, say
.calibreplugin.
Keeping the zip format means Calibre can still use the same unzip code as it does currently for accessing the plugin.
It also means Calibre can only allow a user to add files with the .calibreplugin extension to be added as plugins.
Finally it means that a user is
really unlikely to try unzipping the plugin by double-clicking it.
