My hypothesis is that several plugin mechanisms for GCC already exist
(on some branches or somewhere else). If a small plugin patch has a
better chance to get accepted into the trunk, we should limit
ourselves to such a small thing. If big plugin machinery could be
accepted (I would prefer that) we should understand what would make
them more acceptable. In both cases, plugins have probably some
requirements defined by the future runtime license, which I don't know
yet.

I put up an API proposal. It's a result of the plugin API discussion at
the GCC summit.
