A GncPlugin is the basic object for adding a menu item or items to the GnuCash user interface. This object should be instantiated once at startup time and passed to the plugin manager. Whenever a new window is opened, the main window code will ask the plugin manager for a list of all plugins, and will add each plugin to the new window by calling the gnc_plugin_add_to_window function. This function handles installing the plugin's actions, and then calls the plugin to allow it to perform any plugin specific actions. When a main window is closed, the gnc_plugin_remove_from_window function is called, which first calls the plugin to perform plugin specific actions and then removes the plugin's actions from the window.
