For the section Dynamic Library Plugin, what is described would
not be a reasonable implementation.  We cannot have a "do it all"
plugin - that would result in unnecessary complexity and also couple
code which should not be coupled. Perhaps we need a more refined
description of what people would like to do with these plugins?

I have already created a simple plugin framework and a 3D Plugin
class which is responsible for loading and creating rendering data
for the 3D viewer. Next on my list is to develop a PCB Plugin which
can perform I/O on a BOARD class - this involves creating a
PCB Plugin API and a pcbnew API. The pcbnew API can be used
for just about anything - re-implement Python scripting interface,
implement various MCAD/ECAD Import/Export etc.
