A need on new type of plugin or recipe

There is a need of new type of plugin, which I woud call "InterconversionPlugin" :-)

Generic use case:
- Convert a book from one format to another.
- Plugin to make modifications on an intermediate OEB.

Sample use case:
- Convert book from EPUB to AZW3.
- Scan intermediate OEB, parse it and add soft-hyphenation marks (as Kindle does not support active hyphenation, but with new firmwares interprets ­ correctly).

Requirements:
- Plugin should have it's configuration icon in conversion dialogue an its own configuration widget.
- There could be any count of these intermediate plugins.
- [Low Priority.] End user should be able to change the order of plugins to be applied (in case they might work on same area and have influence on final result).

It would be possible to add GUI plugin and do the same type of work or actually replicate all conversion dialogue and even to make it extensible, but it is probably not worth it.
