    I have been intending for some time now to implement an xml companion file
    for plugins. This file would contain system-level preferences for the
    plugin, a description of the plugin, the plugin's dependencies (e.g.
    other plugins and abiword version), command-line options and help for
    same, and so on. Strings localization would fit in nicely with these.

    I haven't decided on a format for the file yet. Location on UNIX should be
    parallel with the plugin itself, on MacOSX it will be part of the plugin
    bundle...

    All ideas welcome...

    Ciao, Frank
