No concerns needed. ;-)

Just the test render plugin inside 

marble/src/plugins/render/test

And 

http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Marble/LayerInterface

might be useful as well (although the suggested mechanism there to update the

I'll try to come up with something better for our workshop at Akademy soonish.

Oh ok. Well usually you should just need the plugin directory. I haven't tried 
creating "stand-alone" plugins yet. But it shouldn't be too different from in-
source plugins.
