I'm quite familiar with the g-v-m architecture. However, I wanted to
avoid working with it for two reasons:

1. I didn't want to contribute to its overgrowth, and having so many
loosely related functions in an unsafe language is nervous to me.
2. I suppose this isn't true now, but it was when I first started toying
with the idea, but notifications weren't in the platform yet.

Regardless, as I stated in another e-mail, perhaps a simple beep would
be enough to notify a successful plugin. (That said, is there a platform
independent way to hit both a soundcard and a PC speaker?)

I simply want a notification of some sort when a plugin has been
detected. Its success or not is irrelevant, since it'll likely be
obvious. (or handled elsewhere)
