plugin first steps

[Robert Fu]

Hi Daron,
 
I have no objection to removing the unused libraries. Thanks for catching it.
 
For the "first steps" type of references, there is also another place contains 
more detailed information: "Managed Build System Extensibility Document"
(mentioned in referrence section in my previous email) contains a section called 
"Tutorial: An Example Tool Integration". It worked well for me. The initial
version of the plug-in was built upon what I got after following the tutorial
step by step. 
 
Somebody said "Managed Build System Extensibility Document" is the bible
for CDT plug-in development, and I believed it. In fact this document plus 
"What's New in CDT Build System 4.0" are the only 2 documents that 
guided me for the developement of initial RTEMS plug-in.
 
Although I don't know how actually Sebastian plan to do it, I think if we can 
automatically extract settings/configurations from Makefiles generated
by configure process, it's an improvement over the current one since it'd 
require less user input. 
 
One other improvement I can see is to make it work on Linux and Mac. 
It seems we 3 have right mix of environments: I have Windows one, Sebastian 
has openSuSE 10.3 env and you have Mac env. 
 
I assume that we cannot get all we want in one shot, so one of many possible ways to move forward is:
 
1. Make the 1st version work in Linux and Mac; Once it works in one OS, re-test
    it in the other OS until we get one version that works in each of the 3 OS. We 
    then use it as a comman base for further refinement.
 
2. Add new improvements one by one. After one new feature works in one OS, 
    re-test the new plug-in in the other OS. We go through this iterative process 
    until we think we have all necessary features.
 
Thanks,
