Yes, that's right. The 0.61, 0.7 and 0.8 builds are complete packages apart
from the "controlpoint thingy". When you create panorama's, you start with
your source images which have (should have) a certain overlap. In this
overlapping areas you select equal points in image 1 and image 2, the so
called control points. Hugin needs these to align the images. You can
either add ControlPoints (CP's) by hand or you can use a "controlpoint
thingy" that automatically does it for you. These "controlpoint thingies"
are the plugins I mentioned.

The MacOSX hugin version is the only one that uses this plugin structure and
currently only for the control point generators. Hugin itself can't be used
as a plugin to some other application.
There are many good tutorials. You should check <
http://hugin.sourceforge.net>. In the Tutorial section you'll find a couple
of very useful tutorials.

Hugin comes from the name of one of Odin's raven. If you are not familiar
with Norse mythology you might take a look at <
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huginn_and_Muninn>. In the early days munin was
a parallel project.
English is not my native language, but hugin is pronounced like in "huggin'
and kissin' " (and no: kissin is not Odin's other raven).
