Michael, You can still build the same plugin. On windows build, just disable the parts that don't build on Windows. SInce ParaView does indeed load separate libraries for the same plugin on server and client, it will load the linux plugin with reader on the server and the panel code on Windows. Of course, if the plugin is loaded on Windows client without connecting to a remote pvserver alone, you may want to provide dummy reader implementation so that if the user creates that reader it will fail more gracefully --reporting appropriate errors.
Hope that helps.
