Re: Plugin system

   Sounds reasonable.

   The interfaces in Extender.h may not be sufficiently defined to work between separately compiled executables like a DLL/so and the SciTE application. They haven't been made ABI-safe by declaring calling conventions. There are returns of C++ types (like std::string) that may be defined differently by different standard libraries or even between release and debug builds.

   Its on SourceForge:
