In xmame, they used an interesting trick: setting hooks for DGA1 and DGA2
functions. However, the code must be compiled on a system with XFree 4.0+.

I still haven't found a decent way to support plugins on a wide range of
machines. So far, dlopen() is the best bet for Un*x (Solaris, AIX) and
Linux. I don't know about Windows nor Irix nor HP/UX. Do you know a
GPL-compatible library that wraps those functions on as many systems as
possible ?

Do you foresee plugins for PowerPC emulation ? ;-)
