yes , but it's logical that GMPI provide all support for hosting as well as
Plug-in architecture. And personnaly i would prefer that GMPI defines all
concerning plug-in including hosting and installation/de-installation to
avoid problem due to clever programmers with great idea who could invente a
new method to transform the beautifull GMPI norm into a instable crap .
