What support are you missing? I'd think that every plug-in should know best
how to manage it's library space, and gimptool provides a lot of information,
e.g. where to put architecture dependnet and/or independent library files,
The only thing that I miss (from a cursory look) would be the
user-dependent gimp directory.

I think it's not a good idea to put knowledge about printer files (or
any plug-in-specific data) into gimptool. What's wrong about just using
$gimpdatadir/gimp-print?
