Hi everybody,

Of course a plugin architecture would be a nice and great thing.
I think the main API should be in C so that raw loaders do not suffer
from scripting languages weaknesses (mainly speed). Then it will be easy
to extend the plugins mechanism to any scripting language (should it be
python, perl, tcl, even scheme).
