Ok.

Thank you. The more examples, the better.

I'll like to encourage you to keep expanding the introduction, though.
The type on information it contains saves a lot of head scratching.

BTW, it is necessary to explicitly export the symbols on Windows (and on
GNU/Linux too depending on the arguments used):

int plugin_is_GPL_compatible;

should be

int __declspec(dllexport) plugin_is_GPL_compatible;

(Windows)

int __attribute__ ((visibility("default"))) plugin_is_GPL_compatible;

(GNU/Linux, when you compile your module with -fvisibility=hidden, which
is a Good Thing.)

This is usually implemented with a macro.

More info:

That page mentions C++ but it applies to C too.
