I don't understand.  I for one like to see a plugins system used in qemu,
and except of the build system everything else is easy (and even nice,
there's even no need to load all plugins at startup as was initially
suggested).  But for this to work, we really need to separate libs
used only by plugins from the main lot, -- or else there's just no
reason to build plugins in the first place.

So, are you saying we should abandom this whole idea?  Or that maybe
Paolo dislikes it (I think he expressed his interest here too)?

Count me confused.

Thanks,
