/**
* @short A generic plugin loader for when KPart::Plugin is overkill
* @author Marc Mutz <[email protected]> based on KABC's FormatFactory
*
* This is a generic plugin loader / factory for small plugins that
* don't want to be TQObjects.
*
* @section Usage
*
* A PluginLoader takes two template arguments, <code>T</code> and
* <code>T_config</code>:
*
* <dl>
* <dt>T</dt><dd>The type of object to return</dd>
* <dt>T_config::mainfunc</dt><dd>The suffix of the factory function to call
* in the library to obtain a new object of type <code>T</code>.
* The string passed to <code>KLibrary::symbol()</code> is
* <code>libName_mainfunc</code>.</dd>
* <dt>T_config::path</dt><dd>The search pattern for <tt>.desktop</tt> files
* containing the plugin descriptions. This is the string passed as
* the @p filter argument to
* <code>KStandardDirs::findAllResources</code>.</dd>
* </dl>
*
* The last two parameters being strings, they are passed via an
* encapsulating class, of which <code>mainfunc</code> and
* <code>path</code> are public static members:
*
* <pre>
* struct MyObjectPluginLoaderConfig {
* static const char * const mainfunc;
* static const char * const path;
* };
* const char * const MyObjectPluginLoaderConfig::mainfunc = "myapp_create_myobject";
* const char * const MyObjectPluginLoaderConfig::path = "myapp/plugins/ *.desktop";
* </pre>
*
* You would then use a <tt>typedef</tt> to create a less unwieldy
* name for your plugin loader:
*
* <pre>
* typedef KPIM::PluginLoader< MyObject, MyObjectPluginLoaderConfig > MyObjectPluginLoader;
* </pre>
*
* All of this is what the
* <code>KPIM_DEFINE_PLUGIN_LOADER(pluginloadername,type,mainfunc,path)</code> macro
* achieves.
*
