[evolution/express2: 18/51] Document EExtensible and EExtension.



commit c675132de1981a140cf3341b7b1c3cd08862b54b
Author: Matthew Barnes <mbarnes redhat com>

    Document EExtensible and EExtension.
    
    The mechanism here is simple but hard to explain without leaning heavily
    on object-oriented jargon.  Consider this a rough draft.  Illustrations
    would certainly help clarify.

+ * #EExtension objects can be tacked on to any #GObject instance that
+ * implements the #EExtensible interface.  A #GObject type can be made
+ * extensible in two steps:
+ *
+ * 1. Add the #EExtensible interface when registering the #GType.
+ *    There are no methods to implement.

+ *         G_IMPLEMENT_INTERFACE (E_TYPE_EXTENSIBLE, NULL))
+ * </programlisting>
+ * </informalexample>
+ *
+ * 2. Load extensions for the class at some point during #GObject
+ *    initialization.  Generally this should be done toward the end of
+ *    the initialization code, so extensions get a fully initialized
+ *    object to work with.
+ *
+ * <informalexample>
+ * <programlisting>
+ * static void
+ * e_custom_widget_init (ECustomWidget *widget)
+ * {
