Need a better way of adding the plugin to configuration that does not depend on other plugins

It might (I'm not entirely sure, though) make sense for there to be a twanager command which adds a plugin to the current instance by, essentially, rewriting the config. @FND wrote some config writing code that eventually ended up in twp.imaker.

An issue with that, however, is preserving comments etc. To such an extent that I'm not sure it is worth it.
