Yes you're right - I didn't actually invent that name, but I think I would 
have called it that.

I was thinking it would be kcsharppluginfactory to be the same as 
krubypluginfactory, but that doesn't really roll off the tongue very easily.

One other thing this comment:

// a path in the form Foo/Bar.dll results in the class Bar in the namespace 
Foo

Won't we have lower case names just like the ruby ones, eg 
foo_bar_baz/my_stuff.dll that would be converted to class MyStuff in 
namespace FooBarBaz?
