  /* INSTALL FLOW
     ------------
     There are four functions install "flows" through. Here is an attempt at
     providing a high-level logic flow overview.
     1. module.exports (installPlugin)
       a) checks that the platform is supported
       b) converts oldIds into newIds (CPR -> npm)
       c) invokes possiblyFetch
     2. possiblyFetch
       a) checks that the plugin is fetched. if so, calls runInstall
       b) if not, invokes plugman.fetch, and when done, calls runInstall
     3. runInstall
       a) checks if the plugin is already installed. if so, calls back (done).
       b) if possible, will check the version of the project and make sure it is compatible with the plugin (checks <engine> tags)
       c) makes sure that any variables required by the plugin are specified. if they are not specified, plugman will throw or callback with an error.
       d) if dependencies are listed in the plugin, it will recurse for each dependent plugin, autoconvert IDs to newIDs and call possiblyFetch (2) on each one. When each dependent plugin is successfully installed, it will then proceed to call handleInstall (4)
     4. handleInstall
       a) queues up actions into a queue (asset, source-file, headers, etc)
       b) processes the queue
       c) calls back (done)
