Sample plugin has no difference from other plugins, it is wrong to specially design a command for that sample plugin.
A plugin should have a way to disable itself, I prefer the original way to disable a plugin like below.

In plugin descriptor xml file, comment out all tabs, if no tabs is defined, then the plugin will not be loaded.
By this way, no special command is needed, no additional overhead in coding is needed.

sample plugin is used to test as a plugin demo.

we disable it by default.

use this command to enable sample plugin
$ ./autogen.sh --enable-plugins

As this command is specially used to enable the sample plugin, so the param of "enable-plugins" is quite confusing, looks like enabling all the plugins.
If it is only to enable that sample plugin, I do not think it is worth to add such a command specially for that.
