I was thinking about switching my code from CFPlugin to something else but
for a different reason. My main problem is that I will sometime in the
future be porting my code to other platforms, so using the CoreFoundation
API may not be a wise choice.
The problem is I (still) have no clue as to how long coding my own plugins
engine may take. So, what is the best way to approach this problem? Create
my own plugins engine/library? Look for multi-platform plugin
engines/libraries? Sticking with CoreFoundation and hope that someone will
make a good port of it?
Thanks,
Diego Rey
