That's the theory... let us know if it's not sufficient.

There's a sample plugin included in the released sources, which  
demonstrates the use of the interface.  (It also demonstrates how to  
load a Python interpreter and run a script, so it's a bit hairier  
than simply showing off the interface.  And probably not thread-safe,  
and may have leaks, etc.  It's just a quick demo, we don't install it.)
