Pluginhook runs plugin scripts in parallel, which may be a problem for certain scripted tasks about pluginhook HOT 7 CLOSED

I'd go for the serial flag, because:

• there might be other executables used in install scripts that use lock files and cannot run in parallel
• flock would add another dependency + guidelines on what to flock etc

Yeah, I like the serial flag.

@progrium I'm wondering, maybe a parallel flag would be more appropriate? I guess you have to be more careful about the decision to do things in parallel than the other way around, so serial behaviour by default makes sense?

Running in serial mode it's also possible to output the stdout of every command instead of only of the last one.

It's possible now, you just have to have all the plugins cooperate. But I
agree, serial mode will make that case much easier/simpler.

In serial mode, how do you think the pipeline filtering should work?

I pulled in PR #8, does that resolve this?
