No, I was thinking of using the same code for most of the places, but
having extra code which could be inserted/removed by the preproccessor
such that the final result would be the same as the plugin, but defined
at compile time. This would involve no more code than having the
standard galeon + plugins. 

I do not want a complete fork of galeon, where the work is entirely
duplicated twice, just the source editing to allow binaries to be
compiled hiding the 'advanced' functionailty:
#ifdef ADVANCED_MODE
toolbar_menu->add(proxy settings)
#fi

IMHO, that seems far easier than doing lots of work on a plugin system.
It would also have all the functionality controlled by the galeon team
(rogue plugins often cause bugs) and would not have any of the plugin
overhead.
