We need to have clean internal separations between these components before a shared library interface really matters. Note, this is really just dividing QEMU into shared libraries, it's not really a plugin mechanism.
Right, I even introduced it as such. I don't think the separation will be difficult (not does it need to be perfect, given that we're not committing to an ABI).
I'm less interested in the shared library bits (although I understand it's usefulness from a distro perspective) and more interested in being able to build out a lot of these things.
Parse failure. What does building out mean? ./configure --disable-blah? -- I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this signature is too narrow to contain.
