It says:
"Pre/postfilters and output filters are a bit of a special case. Since they are not mentioned in the templates, they must be registered or loaded explicitly via API functions before the template is processed."

But then:
"To install a plugin, simply place it in one of the directories and Smarty will use it automatically."

Its a little unclear. A test shows the first is right. Smarty does not automatically php include output filters.

But it turns out it is unnecessary in froogle.php for another reason. It is already included in smarty.php.
