[Adium-devl] Sparkle for plugins

[Ofri Wolfus]

NSBundle *bndl = [NSBundle bundleForClass:[pluginInstance class]];
NSString *pluginPath = [bndl bundlePath];

// Do some fancy stuff with the plugin's bundle
// Hot new feature - update plugins without quitting! (10.5 only)
[[bndl principalClass] unloadPlugin]; // Kills all instances of the  
plugin's classes, unregisters with adium, etc
[bndl unload]; // objc2++;

// Now load the updated version of the plugin
