Checked in, with changes to allow the "X*.[ch]" files to be built on 
UNIX as well, so that a release tarball including those files can be 
built (thus not requiring somebody building for Windows from the 
tarball to have GCC or Python).

Those files have also been checked into CVS, so that you don't need GCC 
to build from CVS (you do need Python).

In addition, I added the two routines "tvb_get_string()" and 
"tvb_get_stringz()" to "plugin_api_list.c", as they apparently weren't 
in the plugin API list in the source tree with which you were working 
(which also meant your patches didn't all apply automatically), and 
modified "Makefile.am" to put "plugin_api_list.c", "plugin_gen.py", and 
the "X*.[ch]" into the tarball.
