Hello All,

Some questions:

[I'm skipping the rest of an interesting post]
I thought that for the first plugin machinery we don't care about
platforms without -rdynamic (or those without dlopen or tl_dlopen).
I believe we should first focus (when the runtime license will permit
that) on making whatever plugin machinery available and merged into the
trunk (when it comes back to stage one). This is not an easy task.
In practice, I think that we should first try to get some code into the
trunk which make some plugin work on some common easy host system
(Linux), and only after try to generalize the work to harder hosts.
At last, I believe that the plugin system will at first be something
which can be disabled at configure time, and will be disabled by default.
My main concern is plugins & passes.
Regards.
