The configuration file for the mirage extension
(Banshee.Plugins.Mirage.addin.xml) contains an attribute that says if
the extension should be enabled by default. It is currently set to
defaultEnabled="false".
This XML file is then embedded as a resource in the dll.
I guess you could patch it for the package to enable by default.

But anyway, as it's not the first time this issue was brought up, I
think we'll enable the extension by default in the next release.
