Public bug reported:

The python plugins have an 'api-max' value to prevent older plugins
being run with future releases of Hugin.

However this restriction is only enforced for stable even-numbered
releases, i.e. The plugins shipped with 2011.4.0 are disabled, but they
are not disabled with 2011.3.0 and 2011.5.0 snapshots. See
src/hugin1/hugin/PluginItems.cpp line 142.

The problem is that since most people who are in a position to check
this compatibility are using snapshots, they will never notice that the
api-max value needs incrementing.

So either:

The api-max check needs to be removed altogether.

..or it should be automatically set to the current release number, since
we should only be shipping compatible plugins.

..or it should be enforced for snapshots too - Making it more likely
that it will get fixed when a developer notices that plugins are
missing.
