/*****************************************************************************
 *
 * The most basic interface type is the "IFManager" interface.
 * Each interface manager registers and deals with interfaces of a given type.
 *
 * Such an interface must be loaded before any plugins of it's type can
 * be loaded.
 *
 * In order to register any plugin of type "foo", we must load a interface of
 * type "Interface" named "foo".  This interface then manages the
 * registration of all interfaces of type foo.
 *
 * To bootstrap, we load a interface of type "Interface" named "Interface"
 * during the initialization of the plugin system.
 *
 * IFManagers will be autoloaded if certain conditions are met...
 *
 * If a IFManager is to be autoloaded, there must be one interface manager
 * per file, and the file must be named according to the type of the
 * interface it implements, and loaded in the directory named PI_IFMANAGER
 * ("Interface").
