Sorry, I wrote that before I saw your other email saying the plug
package files were actually just in platform-specific DLL format,
which I somehow didn't get before. Which answers my other questions
there too. So never mind.
Sure seems like it would be better to bundle the metadata and the DLL
into a single package file somehow, else there'll definitely be sync
problems.
Sorry to take the bandwidth,

Not sure I follow. Do you mean storage for data shared between all instances of a plugin? (in C++ terms, the static members).
Static data is initialised automatically when the dll loads. I believe by the OS or C runtime.
Said storage is freed when dll is unloaded.
Not sure I follow the questioning. On both Windows and Linux, initialisation of static data in a dll is automatic. We have a working prototype that proves this.
