[help-GIFT] GIFT-Plugins

[Sailesh Suvarna]

Thanks for all the good work. I've dabbled with creating a new plugin, and I 
think I've found a relic of an older libMRML-config
version...

In the configure script generated by PluginMaker/bootstrap.sh, we
have:

MRMLLIBS=`libMRML-config --ldflags --libs`
MRMLINCLUDES=`libMRML-config --includes --cxxflags`

These two lines make libMRML-config very unhappy, since it can only
take single-letter arguments.

My wild guess is they should these be something like:

MRMLLIBS=`libMRML-config -l -L`
MRMLINCLUDES=`libMRML-config -i -c`

Effecting the change allows configure to complete and make to complete
without problems.

Comments?

The GIFT server recognizes the plugin (at least it says it's "sane").

Now comes the big question: how do I actually ask GIFT to use my plugin Thanks 
for all the good work. I've dabbled with creating a new

Now comes some questions: how do I actually ask GIFT to use my plugin in a 
query etc? do I HAVE to write a plugin in C++ by just editing CAc_myplugin.cc?
