you call gimp. gimp calls the plug-in. the plug-in might be implemented in
any language you want.
The normal way to code a plug-in is to initialize the plug-in (global vars
etc..) and then call gimp_main(), which uses the plug-in-info structure to
make callbacks into your program.
In rexx you have to
a) create an interface for gimp_main
b) create a way to initialize callbacks in the global PLUG_IN_INFO
structure.
One way to do that would be to write glue functions (in C) that would call
predefined rexx functions ("GimpInit", "GimpRun" etc..)
