Might make it easier to see what plugins exist in an installation,
though I would then add a plugins level (folder and namespace) within vizkit
  vizkit/plugins/CorridorPlannerVisualization.hpp
and vizkit::plugins::CorridorPlannerVisualization

or to have an even stronger separation between core and plugins put it 
in viskit_plugins/ ?
