I would go a bit further.
One nice properties of plugins is that they have a more restrictive
API. That should help us to get the code a bit more maintainable.
Olatunji's work is a very nice example. For example, to make mudflap a
plugin he had to remove the occurrences of "if (flag_mudflap)" and
make mudflap use the existing generic varpool.
