Instead of always hitting the registry when installing a plugin by ID, first see if it exists within the "plugin search path".

The plugin search path should be specified in the same way as other plugman registry settings:
https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf?p=cordova-plugman.git;a=blob;f=src/registry/registry.js;h=ccdd45ab672abe99a731b9fe0aed8837db40d6f0;hb=f240acc532f93bdf16761836d9b7418373afebec#l239

The search path should point to directories that contain directories that contain plugin.xml files. E.g., on start-up, plugman will need to scan on level deep in all search paths for plugin.xml files and parse out their IDs.

We should be sure to have a console message upon installation that says where plugins are being installed from.
