Don't build or install the plugins you don't want/need, or build libpurple
with your plugins of choice compiled in statically and disable plugins.

libpurple probes every plugin it can find for information, but that isn't
"loading" them. It does however load every prpl and loader plugin it finds
since that is the only way the prpls can be used and the loader-loaded
plugins can be found/probed.
