working towards a modular plugin based audacity

Hello Audacity developers,

This email is to start a discussion on how best to transition to a modular
plugin based Audacity.  This idea has been tossed around in the past on the
mailing list and on the wiki (
http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Roadmap
http://www.audacityteam.org/wiki/index.php?title=Audacity-Extra ).  

With the shuffling that will be going on soon for GSOC, now (the next several
weeks before GSOC coding actually starts) is an opportune time to try to make
this transition.


Steps towards this goal include:
 - standardize to using wx 2.8 which I understand to have better support for a
   modular build
 - Audacity Windows build should switch from a static build to a DLL build
 - there should be a basic template/test module/plugin to confirm the new
   modular design works and to provide an example for new modules to be built
   against


On my end, I'll be checking out:
 - get wx 2.8 libs working in my Linux environment (debian stable)
 - get a windows build env setup
 - review the work Dominic and James have done already on src/LoadModules*


What do others think?

regards,
donfede
