@eht16 by "reverse engineer" I meant plugin devs would have to figure out and 
download the version of G* headers which go with the specific version of G* 
dlls we ship in order to develop plugins. If we (optionally) shipped the G* 
headers along with the dlls we ship, all they would have to do is point their 
toolchain/compiler/buildsystem at our headers and dlls and they can make 
plugins, whether they use MSYS, Cygwin, MinGW, MSVC, ICC, etc. They should all 
interoperate as it's all plain C, including Scintilla which we use via a C 
API/ABI.
