In Objective-C all classes share a namespace, so if two binary images are 
loaded into the same address space, and use the same class name, then one of 
the two classes will be used. If all of these AppControllers share the same 
functionality, then you probably won't have any issues (for now) but if all of 
your plugins do implement this class to the same function, then you should 
probably abstract them all into a common framework that all of these plugins 
load instead.
