I speak in regards to IDE's and Text editors only because I see the most need in
this area, and its currently what I'm most interested in with regards to
programming. If you have some application unrelated to IDE/text, then plugger
will work of course. You, I, or someone else just need to write the wrapper and
communication to make it work.

Yes.. for example I'm dropping plugger into SeksiCommander after linux testing
is done. SeksiCommander just won't use the IDE wrapper.. it'll use another one
(that I, or we have to create). Instead of IDE functions such as
ActiveSourceEditor.selstart and seltext, SeksiCommander plugger wrapper will
have things like "ActiveFilePane.items[n]". SeksiCommander is a file pane
manager, so no sense us using things like seltext and selstart (except possibly
for the quickview pane).

If the app is open source, I'd be willing to help you inject plugger into it
right away.. if it's commercial, we'll have to work something out, or you will
have to be familiar with how plugger needs to be implemented.
I'm interested in getting the word out about the Pascal language too:
Example:
I use a midi program called "Jazz++" which is open source (see sourceforge), but
it's not Pascal. But I can put plugger into that app if I can get my hands on
just a tiny amount of the C code that runs the app. I've always wanted to use
some C programs since they are useful, but how do I hack stuff in to the app?? I
hope plugger will solve some of those issues (while at the same time, getting
the word out about Pascal).
