I know that the discussion started out with a peep about the format of
the configuration file. I just wanted to follow up on the future
perspectives. And I am sorry if I didn't make it clear that what I was
aiming at was exactly what you suggest - a plugin interface.
I don't agree that the config question is something entirely different,
since the plugin interface is supposed to manipulate the same parameters
specified in the config file (if possible, that is!). Note that I am
*not* suggesting that somebody ventures deep into this subject, because
the Plex86 project is not ready for that, but lets keep it in mind until
the project has progressed a little further.
Lastly I'd like to say that I am very excited about the project, and I
am looking forward to test drive the first version that is actually able
to host something serious (aka UNIX).
