Rodrigo Moya from the Gnumeric and Gnome-DB projects
has written such a thing already, and it might be nice
if we can collaborate with him, or at least learn from
his successes and mistakes.
It's in GNOME's cvs, I think under the gnome-office
module. Gnumeric makes use of the plugin descriptor
files, as a good example.
