+cdebconf plugins (custom widgets)
+---------------------------------
+
+[This is a draft, and is not implemented yet.]
+
+cdebconf has the facility to load custom implementations for template types
+at run-time. This may be used to provide more sophisticated user interfaces
+than can be achieved using the standard generic template types. Naturally,
+these implementations are per-frontend.
+
+The CAPB command may be used to query the existence of a given plugin for
+the current frontend. If the type "foo" is supported by a plugin, CAPB will
+return the capability "plugin-foo".
+
+Plugins are dynamically-loaded libraries. The library must be in the
+following location:
+
+  <frontend_path>/<frontend>/plugin-<type>.so
+
+(The initial "plugin-" is to allow for more convenient testing within the
+cdebconf source tree.)
+
+In the default cdebconf.conf, <frontend_path> is /usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend.
+Thus, an implementation of the "detect-keyboard" type for the newt frontend
+would be stored in:
+
+  /usr/lib/cdebconf/frontend/newt/plugin-detect-keyboard.so
+
+The library must provide a function with the following name:
+
+  <frontend>_handler_<type>
+
+Any hyphens in <type> here are substituted with underscores, so:
+
+  newt_handler_detect_keyboard
+
+The required prototype for this function depends on the frontend. For newt
+and text, it is (again with hyphens in <type> substituted with underscores):
+
+  int <frontend>_handler_<type>(struct frontend *obj, struct question *q)
+
+For gtk, it is:
+
+  int <frontend>_handler_<type>(struct frontend *obj, struct question *q, GtkWidget *questionbox);
+
+The handler should return DC_OK (defined in common.h) if all went well,
+DC_GOBACK if the user wants to back up to the previous question, or DC_NOTOK
+if an error occurred.
