It's tricky. The easiest way is simply to convert the Gimp into a Windows program by compiling it with WineLib. No, I don't know how to do that, Dimi is the expert here. That means that in order to use Photoshop plugins in the Gimp you'd need a special build of the Gimp and Wine installed and setup correctly. That might well be acceptable, I don't know. Longer term it'd be nice to decouple them, maybe using RPC, or maybe by figuring out what stops us loading wine into an already initialized process.
