I'm browsing through PCB's code, trying to modify it, so that it would,
amongst other things, use GTK4 and thus work on wayland etc.

I've noticed that idurirng initialization it runs hid_init, which runs 
hid_load_dir and that one looks in couple of maps and tries to dlopen 
whatever it finds there ( /usr/lib/pcb/plugins, ~/.pcb/plugins).

I don't have anything similar there, nor I remeber ever seeing this.

Is anyone using this and what is it used for ?

Regards,

Branko
