Some small notes, just so that the plugin system doesn't become a

One more thing: I think it should be possible for plugins to alter the

This can be
done a-la osgi or java's ServiceLoader. For example, in Ant, if a
library
has the file META-INF/services/org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectHelper,
then it
defines the project helper.
Interesting. I'm thinking about using OSGI for the plugin system
anyway, but I'm no sure yet.
An complementary approach for customization is to provide lifecycle
events and listeners.
