May be an idea... the issue is that plugin loader need access to some 
widgets (for instance the preferences dialog) that we do not want to 
make public since we may want to change them at any point...

In order to not impact startup time I think the mechanism should be 
lazy: if a plugin specifies in the .gedit-plugin file a loader gedit 
doesn't know about, gedit looks for the loader before loading the plugin.
