True. Is it a goal of GMPI that GMPI plugins should be hostable in legacy
plugin apps and/or that it should be possible to adapt any GMPI plugin to
run in a legacy host?
If we're talking about plugins-within-plugins, as long as the host is GMPI
it's not a problem: the intermediate plugin can pass any GMPI
threadcreation requests through to the GMPI host.

Angus.
