I have read no articles on building plug-ins, I do not know specific
methods.  It occures to me that C has generaly the same data structures
accrossed multiple platforms (string int double etc).  C is ment to be
portable, the compiler should handle any non-system specific code on any
system.  I do not know if that is the case in practice though.
