Plugins with terminal application...

[lloyd . sargent]

I'm writing a GUI-less application and find the need for plugins.
Avoiding the pro's and con's of doing so, is it POSSIBLE? If so, how
would I go about it? Basically the main application would be a single
executable. But I am at a loss to figure out how to build the plugins
(with OS X I would just create a Bundle - but I'm not sure how to go
about it on Linux).

Thanks for any insight!

Cheers,

Lloyd
