Thanks, Derek, for the comprehensive reply. Naturally I had only considered
a small subset of plugin cases where the plugin author wanted to manipulate
the internal windows/controls global sequence, maybe add a menu and/or
menuitems to an already existing global Window and display information.
You've given me more to think about and I appreciate your advice.

Thanks to everyone else who offered suggestions.

In a later posting Derek stated that a *previously* compiled IDE would not
be able to use a new plugin using the trick suggested by Igor and Aku. I had
not thought about problems using the include method with an IDE that user
has previously compiled since I do not compile IDE myself. I certainly do
not want a user to have to recompile in order to use a new plugin..
