I'm not sure whether anyone has thought really hard yet on what they
should be like.  You'll find a test plugin though at

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/dotgnu-see/andromeda/server/test.cpp

don't be disappointed when you find that it's pretty trivial :-)

It's certainly a responsibility of the DotGNU-SEE project to
make sure that it's not too difficult to make such plugins. :-)
(The plugins can be in any language that gcc is capable of
compiling into a native executable.)

Great.  Could you please send me some text for the listing of
masc on http://dotgnu.org/proposals/active.html ?

Greetings, Norbert.
