Add extra to disable installers

[shama]

Setting this extra would disable installers and install to the native vendor dir. Useful for users who have configured their framework to consume packages from the default dir (but the framework has not officially supported it).

Maybe installer-disable?

What's about this?

"disabled-installers": "*"

"disabled-installers": ["YiiInstaller","ZendInstaller"]

[shama]

Disabling installers for specific frameworks but not all implies the user is using at least two frameworks simultaneously. I'm not sure it's plausible that a user will be using two frameworks simultaneously and if they are, they should be fine using the default vendor directory.

Was just an idea. btw: Using Yii and Zend together is a perfect use case ;)

@schmunk42 if you use Yii you might use Zend components as libraries but probably not Zend MVC stuff. And for the libs going in vendor/ is just fine.

I use WordPress and Moodle in a project. I want to implement my own WordPress installer but leave the Moodle behavior as is. I think if there is an implementation for this, it should expose the functionality in the public api so other installers can leverage this. #211 is one of these particular scenarios.
