[linas@linas.org: Re: Plugins, modules oe similar functionality]

[Derek Atkins]

Unfortunately at this time there is no way to get a plug-in module to
actually get loaded at runtime without modifying existing code.  I
plan to "fix" this by providing a 'plugins' directory -- any scheme
files in that directory will get loaded during program initialization.

I haven't figured out exactly how to implement that, yet ;)
