Well yeah that, plus also distributing the additional DLLs that depend on such features, that's the part that really starts to bloat up the installer size.

I would say that sounds pretty likely! :)

But also at some point I do want to have things set up so that MoI plug-ins could include C++ DLL code of their own mixed together with script.

Just in general there isn't as much of a concept that MoI scripts have to be in some high security sandboxed environment as in a regular web browser environment. So there are already a lot of stuff that you can do in a MoI script like access the Windows FileSystemObject scripting API which is not allowed to be accessed from a regular web browser for example.
