Your average dumb user can't even work the file manager on their platform
without some serious handholding... those that can, and know enough to
mess with XML, do so at their own risk.

No. When a user installs plugins from another platform and wants to wrap
them to GMPI, they run a config program which updates the wrapper
component's XML file. On a multiuser system, this means that each user has
to have a copy of the wrapper if they want to install their own FormatX
plug-ins, but that's no biggie.

Angus.
