A tangentially related question. Assume I need to check that a
plugin named "foo" is installed and enabled. Assume also "foo" contains
a "representative" autoload file "autoload/foo.vim". Before packpath
and friends I could do something like this, and the result was pretty
reliable:

if globpath(&runtimepath, "autoload/foo.vim", 1) != ""
" foo is installed
...
endif

What would be the preferred way to do the same with the new package
scheme, accounting for optional packages, old style plugins, and so on?
