Here's how I'd do it the boring way. Step 1 is probably to allow registration of "actions".
I've been doing some refactoring of the action system to allow this, it's probably close enough to work now. Step 2 is possibly somehow to have support for more than one toolbar, which we don't really do right now. Step 3 is a toolbar editor and somewhere to save your toolbar preferences into. FormBuilder will probably now let you churn out the dialog structure fairly quickly. That wouldn't add anything by default, but it would let you manually add tools to the toolbar yourself. It really depends how big the plugin is. Something with 20 toolbar entries of it's own probably demands an entire extra row. Something that only adds one toolbar element, not so much. You just want it appended to the normal ones. ... and it has to somehow survive plugin reloading (which would be a pretty interesting trick).
