The (hopefully still attached) file is a fairly minimal extension with extensive comments.
Currently there is one bug: the extension name does not show up when gimp says 'Starting extensions' -- instead an empty string is shown. Anyone know why this is? Is it a bug in my extension or a bug in PyGimp?

# install some procedures
# typically, an extension registers a number of temp_procs
# which are functions that it provides.
#
# in the case of PyGimp, the functions must be an attribute of the
# class (or instance) which implements the extension.
# That is, if you register a function 'foo_ufo',
# you must implement a method in the class called 'foo_ufo'
#
# For ideas like script-fu, where the temporary procs are dynamic,
# you would need to make assignments like
#
# setattr(self, funcname, scriptRunner('/home/ai/.gimp-2.0/macros/tileoffset.py'))
#
# Just like ordinary PyGimp plugins, the temp proc functions must match normal
# instance-call convention; they accept 'self' as first parameter, then
# the parameters they were registered with.
#
#
#
# You can also uninstall temp procs at (any?) time. (uninstall_temp_proc (proc_name))
# The script-fu extension uses this uninstall facility when refreshing the scripts
# -- first it removes all its
# temp_procs, then adds them back as it rediscovers them from the scripts on disk.

#
# which makes the extension wait forever for messages, and also takes care of actually running the
# temp_procs.
# I've just added a debug message here for my own information.
#
# as far as I know, anything that occurs after that loop will never execute.
# I close the file here, but probably it is Python that automatically closes the file when
# GIMP shuts down and my extension finishes running, rather than my explicit command.
