The main thing that came out of the LAC meeting was that the header file
was the wrong place for metadata.  The port hints, port names, plugin
information, etc, etc, should be elsewhere in an easy to use metadata
language.  It's the use of external data that suggests a client
library.  Of course, there is no need to employ any particular library,
or even any 3rd party library, dependant on the ease of parsing the
metadata language.

HTH,

Bob
