No idea about this, sorry. But couldn't you do something like this:
plugins = findfile(repository+'*.pro')
IF plugins NE '' THEN BEGIN
FOR i=0,N_Elements(plugins)-1 DO BEGIN
resolve_routine, plugins[i] ;; may need to determine if it is
a pro or function
print, 'Compiled routine '+plugins[i]
ENDFOR
ENDIF
Don't forget to install a CATCH error handler, though!
Cheers,
Martin
