Coudn't we add backends by using plugins? That would be an interesting feature.

I guess we always thought of providing GTG with built-in backends for
sync with several task managers, but we never thought as them as being
activable plugins. Having some backends as default feature is nice,
but what if it starts to add weird dependencies? Plugin backends could
have some advantages.

Actually, I don't know what the best is either.
