--- Comment #6 from David Nečas <yeti(a)physics.muni.cz> ---
If I knew how much grief the plug-in system would create....
I will try to clarify one point: The plug-in system is ill-conceived but real
people use it and depend on it; we care about compatibility and do not break
things just because we would do them differently now. From this two
conclusions follow:
(1) If someone puts a perl/python/whatever plug-in script to
~/.gwyddion/plugins it must work as with upstream, otherwise the package is
broken. This can be ensured by different means.
(2) Use of the plug-in support files should not be encouraged, especially not
outside gwyddion plug-ins. I would say this can only be done by not placing
them to the standard search paths.
If I embedded the support files into plugin-proxy.c, (re)created them somewhere
in user's ~/.gwyddion each time plugin-proxy is loaded and set GWYPLUGINLIB to
point there, it would make this issue disappear from the reviewer's radar. It
would fit the purpose but I doubt it would be saner than just dumping them to
libdir.
