Blow WindowPlugins.dll to separate plugin DLLs (4 Viewers)

[tourettes]

@infinite.loop wrote in a post somewhere that he did not want breaking changes going into 1.5 if we can avoid it.

According the train model "rules" we did craft we aren't allowed to break the same subsystem combatibility twice in a row. Depending what 1.4.0 did break we shouldn't break all again in 1.5.0. If there is only one sub system (like music) we did break with 1.4.0 then I would still allow the 1.5.0 to break (like music) compatibility again to get the refactoring done for 1.5.0, in other cases next stop would be 1.6.0.

So, if we want planned for 1.6, need to be have good rework with future many scenari (plugins as Extension for update (bug correction/ enhancement) without change all MP setup

Maybe we should just remove whole GUIDVD code then if it has been replaced, wonder why this haven't been done before.

Unfortunately the whole WindowPluginBase.cs seems to be a nightmare...

[azzuro]

I think we need to keep a prioritized startup for plugins derived from Windowplugin.
