 * @brief   a global manager for each processes to keep track
 * of plugins loaded on that process.
 *
 * vtkPVPluginTracker is a singleton that's present on each process to keep
 * track of plugins loaded on that process. Whenever is plugin is loaded (either
 * statically using PV_PLUGIN_IMPORT() or dynamically, it gets registered with
 * the  on every process that it is loaded.
 * Whenever a plugin is registered, this class fires a vtkCommand::RegisterEvent
 * that handlers can listen to, to process the plugin.
