VSE has a nice way of doing that. It starts up and reads a file called
<name of executable>.bnd (the bind file) and binds any libraries named in
that file to the image at startup. A library may have a bind action which
is evaluated after the library has been bound. In such a way each library
(plug-in) can initialize itself and even start the application or
development environment. The actual executable remains very small (24 KB)
because all it does is binding some standard libraries and then the
libraries in the bind file.
