 *	PILS - Universal Plugin and Interface loading system
 *****************************************************************************
 *
 * An Overview of PILS...
 *
 * PILS is fairly general and reasonably interesting plugin loading system.
 * We manage both plugins and their interfaces
 *
 * This plugin / interface management system is quite general, and should be
 * directly usable by basically any project on any platform on which it runs
 * - which should be many, since everything is build with automake
 * and libtool.
 *
 * Some terminology...
 *
 * There are two basic kinds of objects we deal with here:
 *
 * Plugins: dynamically loaded chunks of code which implement one or more
 *		interfaces.  The system treats all plugins as the same.
 *		In UNIX, these are dynamically loaded ".so" files.
 *
 * Interface: A set of functions which implement a particular capability
 * 		(or interface)
 * 	Generally interfaces are registered as part of a plugin.
 * 	The system treats all interfaces of the same type the same.
 * 	It is common to have exactly one interface inside of each plugin.
 * 	In this case, the interface name should match the plugin name.
 *
 * Each interface implementation exports certain functions for its clients
 * to use.   We refer to these those "Ops".  Every interface of the same type
 * "imports" the same interfaces from its interface manager,
 * and exports the same "Ops".
 *
 * Each interface implementation is provided certain interfaces which it
 * imports when it from its interface manager when it is registered.
 * We refer to these as "Imports".  Every interface of a given type
 * imports the same interfaces.
 *
 * The story with plugins is a little different...
 *
 * Every plugin exports a certain set of interfaces, regardless of what type
 * of interfaces is implemented by it.  These are described in the
 * PILPluginOps structure.
 *
 * Every plugin imports a certain set of interfaces, regardless of what type
 * of interfaces it may implement.  These are described by the
 * PILPluginImports structure.
 *
 * In the function parameters below, the following notation will
 * sometimes appear:
 *
 * (OP) == Output Parameter - a parameter which is modified by the
 * 	function being called
 *
 *
 *****************************************************************************
 *
 * The basic structures we maintain about plugins are as follows:
 *
 *	PILPlugin		The data which represents a plugin.
 *	PILPluginType		The data common to all plugins of a given type
 *	PILPluginUniv		The set of all plugin types in the Universe
 *					(well... at least *this* universe)
 *
 * The basic structures we maintain about interfaces are as follows:
 * 	PILInterface		The data which represents a interface
 * 	PILInterfaceType		The data which is common to all
 * 					interfaces of a given type
 *	PILPluginUniv		The set of all interface types in the Universe
 *					(well... at least *this* universe)
 *
 * Regarding "Universe"s.  It is our intent that a given program can deal
 * with plugins in more than one universe.  This might occur if you have two
 * independent libraries each of which uses the plugin loading environment
 * to manage their own independent interface components.  There should be
 * no restriction in creating a program which uses both of these libraries. 
 * At least that's what we hope ;-)
 *
 *
 ***************************************************************************
 * SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT PLUGINS...
 ***************************************************************************
 *
 * Going back to more detailed data structures about plugins...
 *
 *	PILPluginImports		The set of standard functions all plugins
 *				import.
 *				This includes:
 *					register_plugin()
 *					unregister_plugin()
 *					register_interface()
 *					unregister_interface()
 *					load_plugin()
 *					log()	Preferred logging function
 *
 *	PILPluginOps		The set of standard operations all plugins
 *				export.
 *				This includes:
 *					pluginversion()
 *					pluginname()
 *					getdebuglevel()
 *					setdebuglevel()
 *					close()	    Prepare for unloading...
 *
 *	Although we treat plugins pretty much the same, they are still
 *	categorized into "types" - one type per directory.  These types
 *	generally correspond to interface types.
 *
 *	One can only cause a plugin to be loaded - not a interface.  But it is
 *	common to assume that loading a plugin named foo of type bar will
 *	cause a interface named foo of type bar to be registered.  If one
 *	wants to implement automatic plugin loading in a given interface type,
 *	this assumption is necessary.
 *
 *	The general way this works is...
 *
 *	- A request is made to load a particular plugin of a particular type.
 *
 *	- The plugin is loaded from the appropriate directory for plugins
 *		of that type.
 *
 *	- The ml_plugin_init() function is called once when the plugin is
 *		loaded.
 *
 *	The ml_plugin_init() function is passed a vector of functions which
 *		point to functions it can call to register itself, etc.
 *		(it's of type PILPluginImports)
 *
 * 	The ml_plugin_init function then uses this set of imported functions
 * 	to register itself and its interfaces.
 *
 * 	The mechanism of registering a interface is largely the same for
 * 	every interface.  However, the semantics of registering a interfaces
 * 	is determined by the interface manager for the particular type of
 * 	interface being discussed.
 *
 ***************************************************************************
 * SOME MORE DETAILS ABOUT PLUGINS...
 ***************************************************************************
 *
 *	There is only one built in type of interface.  That's the Interface
 *	manager interface.
 *	The interface manager for the interface of type "InterfaceMgr",
 *	named "InterfaceMgr" inserts itself into the system in order
 *	to bootstrap things...
 *
 *	When an attempt is made to register a interface of an unknown type,
 *	then the appropriate Interface manager is loaded automatically.
 *
 *	The name of an interface manager determines the type of
 *	interface it manages.
 *
 *	It handles requests for interfaces whose type is the same
 *	as its interface name.  If the interface manager's interface name
 *	is foo, then it is the interface manager for all interfaces whose
 *	type is foo.
 *
 * 	Types associated with interfaces of type Interface
 *
 *	PILInterfaceOps	The set of interfaces that every interface
 *				manager exports
 *	PILInterfaceImports	The set of interfaces which are supplied to
 *				(imported by) every interface of type
 *				Interface.  (that is, every interface
 *				manager).
 *
 *****************************************************************************
 *
 * Each plugin has only one entry point which is exported directly, regardless
 * of what kind of interface(s) it may implement...
 *
 * This entrypoint is named ml_plugin_init()	{more or less - see below}
 *
 * The ml_plugin_init() function is called once when the plugin is loaded.
 *
 *
 * All other function pointers are registered (exported) through parameters
 * passed to ml_plugin_init()
 *
 * It is the purpose of the Ml_plugin_init() to register the plugin,
 * and all the interfaces which this plugin implements.  A pointer to
 * the  registration function is in the parameters which are passed
 * to ml_plugin_init().
 *
 *****************************************************************************
 *
 * THINGS IN THIS DESIGN WHICH ARE PROBABLY BROKEN...
 *
 * It may also be the case that the plugin loading environment needs
 * to be able to have some kind of user_data passed to it which it can
 * also pass along to any interface ...
 *
 * Maybe this should be handled by a sort of global user_data registration
 * structure, so globals can be passed to interfaces when they're registered.
 *
 * A sort of "user_data" registry.  One for each interface type and one
 * for each interface...  Or maybe it could be even more flexible...
 *
 * This is all so that these nice pristene, beautiful concepts can come out
 * and work well in the real world where interfaces need to interact with
 * some kind of global system view, and with each other...
 *
 * Probably need some better way of managing interface versions, etc.
