Whoa, in fact in the hbci module there is a whole lot of brand new code using 
the plugin manager. I've never seen any of this before, and I thought the 
hbci subdirectory contained only code by myseld. But it seems David and/or 
others already spent considerable effort into making this an excellent 
reference implementation for the new gncPlugin system -- thanks a lot! 

As for Chris:

No downside except that you are working at the bleeding edge of development, 
which might mean there is only one or two other examples and the 
documentation might not be too complete so far.
