I have taken a look at digikam which provides it's own PluginManager, but
half the code I don't know what it is for :-(  and even some includes are 
unknown by me.

This is what digikam includes for it's pluginmanager:

#include <qfile.h>
#include <qvariant.h>
#include <ktrader.h>  ???
#include <kxmlguifactory.h>
#include <kparts/componentfactory.h>  ???
#include <kdebug.h>
#include <kaction.h>
#include <interfaces/plugin.h>  ???

If somebody has already written an app proving a plugin manager like this
please help me to make tweakBSD 'pluggable' which is very important for me!
