[Arianne-devel] libArianneClient

[Ulrich E. <doo...@kn...>]

I just bot a crazy idea that would simplify some stuff:
instead of making the GUI a plugin for the client, we could provide a 
libArianneClient (shared) library that gives a nice wrapper around all the 
services the server offers. This roughly corresponds to the task (see recent 
Thread 'About Tasks') I added to sourceforge.

Advantages: 
- no dynamic-loading to debug
- maybe there is a difference between pluggin in another language to plugging 
C++ into another language
- linking-failures are detected by the linker, that is before running the 
program

Disadvantages:
- no run-time renderer-selection possible

I do not consider making this change now, but if in future there is a point 
where this change would not bother much, I think it would be useful.

whatcha think, fellas ?
