Summary	0005800: handle nonexistent plugins in a better way
Description	Whenever I move a project to an other Ardour 3 box of mine I get small or big problems due to some plugins only existed on one of my boxes. I can try to parse the log and determine what was different or I could keep a document with all settings and plugins used to be able to cope with the changes. A better way would be if Ardour could place grayed out place holder icons in the mixer with the name of the plugin so one can easily get a view of whats missing. Now, one gets no clear view of that and some bus reverb tracks have no plugins which is difficult to track down.
Additional Information	I understand that plugins change the routing and this can be difficult or even impossible due to that but maybe something between, like a Summary popping up telling what plugins was missing on what track. This is just suggestions and I hope others can chime in and give their point of view.
