The more generic plugin interface of e.g. Kopete is LGPL to allow plugins with 
restrictive licenses. They use KLibLoader and friends though because they can 
require the plugin to be at least kdelibs/qt compatible. In your particular 
case even those basic libraries are out (well, qt is out, kdelibs with its 
LGPL is actually fine), so you can't borrow much code from there.
