It is not really clear to me what you try to do.
Do you want to add functionality to the Gim? If so, why dont
you use a Plugin? Sample code for plugins is available
within lots of plugins that come with the default
distribution of Gimp.
Currently you cannot add arbitrary modules (dynamically loaded
code) to the gimp. There are certain places where you can
add own modules (own colorselector) but this is more experimental.
Hope this helps,
Simon
