In the case of Qt plugins the only thing to take care of is that the plugin are develop with a version lower or equal than the one with which TeXmacs was compiled, that's all.

That's the job of the plugin implementor, not ours.

So, if this is the only reason for the glue library, I don't see a very big added value.

The added value is that people can develop new widgets
independently, and load these widgets inside TeXmacs
*without the need of recompiling TeXmacs*.

Thus the mechanism is 100% dynamic, and without a glue
library which exports only a C API, it would not be
possible to do things this way (otherwise, recompiling
TeXmacs from source would be required each time you
modify your plugins).
