The Plugin API is quite simple (embryonic?) at this point, but it isn't very
hard to make a plugin. To test the unix stuff, I just stole the Gnumeric make
system and built some really simple/stupid plugins. In fact, your ISCII
importer/exporter can already be compiled as a plugin (make ABI_OPT_PLUGINS=1) -
well, sort of. The c++ code needed should already be in place. You need to make
those c++ files dynamically loadable (.dll/.so), and we don't have any way to do
that in our current make system (though it probably wouldn't be too hard to add).
Volunteers?
