Do C Language plugins need to be compiled with Dia?

[dunn <dnaughton dunnamin com>]

I know I'm causing a flurry of messages all at once, but I was wondering 
if a user makes a C Language plugin instead of Python, does it have to 
be compiled with the program, or does Dia find a library (and perhaps an 
XML file) in a folder and use it?

Thanks,
