I've written fixed-point plug-ins to run on PocketPC, and although it
would be good to be able to use GMPI for this, I think it should be a
separate profile that most hosts and plug-ins don't need to know or
care about.
The chances are that float data is not the only thing that can't be
supported on some platforms, so my vote is for GMPI to be float only,
and "GMPI-Mobile" is derived from it and doesn't affect the design of
GMPI itself without a really good reason.
