AFAIK (before my time), the plugins system dates back to earlier Qt4 versions of Nickel, so, nope .
Well... I was thinking (or wishing there was a way) of a way to do it w/out having to utilize a LD_PRELOAD to hook into ioctl

The plugins system is actually still in the recent firmware... I'm looking at it in IDA right now. Be interesting to see if we can still utilize it (even if no one hasn't yet). I'm sure it needs to be updated from the existing examples as they are a few years old.

I might setup the koboreader build box and see if it still works. If it does and can be hooked into readingview, even if it still utilizes FBInk, it might simplify a few other things.
