Load javabot (and others') modules/plugins.

[FauxFaux]

It would be nice if we could come up with a procedure allowing us to steal.. uh, I mean.. load plugins from other bots.

The initial target of this could be [http://sourceforge.net/projects/fn-javabot/ javabot], which has a nice !javadoc command.

This could possibly be achieved by (theories):

• a simple plugin using alias/pogo-style command emulation to call other (pre-specified bits of) code?
• a plugin that allowed plugin loading with loads of lovely reflectiony stuff (eew)?
• a module that compiled randomly specified java code, and returned 'function pointers' given strings?
• a plugin loader that could call any public functions in a given piece of code?
• a pircbot emulation layer (heh heh heh), allowing other bots to be loaded in entirety as plugins.

Other promising projects are general other bots such as DiceBOT and [http://www.jibble.org/montyquotes.php Monty](both of which are based around pircbot).

Furhter suggestions or possible sane methods?
