 Having all the IO functionality in
plugins it's gonna make it easier for everybody to improve and enhance the
code, as well as adding new features. I'm almost there. I have to prepare
a talk for tomorrow, but I'll try to post the code at the end of the week.
The plugin system is what's going to make SG really a killer app, I hope
;-)
 I thank you all for the interest in contributing to the project, I'm
really very aware of that, and that it's you who are going to make SG
really a great program and tool. I just want to settle the basic code for
everybody to work on a common basis. I just ask you for a couple of days
and some patience. (Especially to Rob ;-)
 I've got the library ready, and practically decoupled from the main core
code of sg, except for some Python silly stuff. I also need to implement
the g_module interface to read the plugins dynamically but that we'll take
me only a couple of hours of work. 
 Saludos,
 <ADRIAN>
