I was talking about the XML files here.

As for adding programmatic ways to expose the configuration options, I 
am not against it, but I think it is not the most important thing to do 
now. Also, Lionel confirmed he does not need that. I find it more 
important to document the plugins properly with gtk-doc (something we 
had in our TODO for ages and we have not done yet) I think that should 
take the priority here.  So, I am not against adding this feature, but I 
think gtk-doc should come first.
