I still try to find a good one on my own :( The QT lib has several special 
purpose interfaces. But no generic interface. KDE's kparts is a quite nice 
interface however not portable. The new Kdevelop (gideon) makes heavy use of 
plugins. Surely a good starting point to investigate. I haven't had the time 
to dig too deep into this, sofar. 

The fastest way is to load libs at runtime (use dlopen on Linux). Each lib has 
a well defined interface (header file, glue code to load). You could define a 
common interface with basic functions to retrieve information about 
additional functions. That's it. Exchanging data will be a bit more of a 
fuzz. To make this portable is a real challenge. :)
