I guess you know what my idea was to give each plug-in a single folder. 
It was only a matter of readability. Moreover, new programmer would 
likely get more into it because they would immediately see what is 
important and it's more easy to reject non-working parts. That was the 
whole behind "my structure".

I did a clean-up before sending them away. Maybe I have ignored them.

I wasn't aware of this. Good to know.

I'll do so as soon as possible. Regarding to SF username should I send 
you a private mail?

Of course I'll have a look myself but any comment or "bug report" from 
you is highly appreciated. (Also from the others). What do you think 
about the interface (maybe I should have a look at the gnome "human 
interface guidelines" :) )?
Interface is a good point. I was wondering if we should write something 
like a wrapper for charting? As we all know is charting (accept with 
error bars) a strength of R. Anyway, there are to many arguments for 
charts but these are repeated frequently and this might be a starting 
point. I came up with this idea when I was trying to write the 
distribution plug-ins. A wrapper would just be the normal triplet 
plugins.pluginmap, code and description but without any functionality.

You are welcome. But the hard job is still done by you.
