Nope, that works, it's not easy to follow because of recursivity, but it works
;)

Already thought of that, but it brings a side effect: unconditionally removing
prefix on save alters also plugins which may be valid only in one of the archs.

IOW, it would be always trying to migrate config towards a path-less plugin
list,
while current patch just left to the user the decision of which plugins are
valid
for every prefix/arch (by editing clawsrc and make them path-less) and which
ones
not and remain absolute path of each arch/prefix.

You are, but I think the explanation above will make it even clearer :)
