I want to create a plugin for xviewer, how do I get started? #6

I have a decent grip on C, though I've never worked with Makefiles. If I can figure out how to build a sample plugin, I should be able to work from there.

The plugin in question I want to create is one that lets xviewer open .paa files, if that simply isn't possible as a plugin it would be appreciated to know.

This could be added as core functionality rather than using a plugin.

It could, but I don't think having support for a format that is only in use for a single game is really useful enough to be core functionality.

It really depends on performance. If performance isn't impacted then we're looking for the simplest implementation, this isn't necessarily using a plugin.
