Interresting point raised in 5.2 :
5.2. Does the host provide some kind of threading environment?

Initially divided into two strategies:

    1. Host is in charge of all thread synchronization. No plugin 
functions are re-entrant or asynchronous.
    2. Plugin is in charge of synchronization, based on API defined 
rules. Some calls may be re-entrant, some may not.


Actually with our vtable system, the host is completely bypassed. But in 
some case (maybe all) it would be nice to have the host handle some 
asynchronous task or know what is going on.
