Hi Germán,

I'm the maintainer of gtkmm-utils. An easy to use plug-in system
sounds good, but without some code and example it's hard to say
anything specific. Dodji Seketeli has developed something like that
based on GModules from Glib for Nemiver [1] [2]. I never really
took time to understand and add that to gtkmm-utils.

If you want, what you could do is clone the gtkmm-utils git repository [3],
add your code with an example and show us how it works.
