No, I'm sorry, there is no plugin system in Merkaartor nor there is plan
(that I know of) to add one.

I tend to consider plugins only useful when they can be used in different
programs.
Otherwise, it is far more efficient, IMHO, to just add it to the main code
base, just to make it optional at compile time if there are additional
dependencies.

If you still plan to write an import "plugin", please have a look at the
ImportNMEA.h/.cpp files. It's an attempt to "box" somewhat the import/export
process.

Obviously, it won't be of much help if you don't want to self-compile
Merkaartor, but there is not much dependencies in merkaartor, you know.
Just install Qt on you system (i.e. add an rpm/dpkg or run an exe), download
the Merkaartor sources, qmake, make and you're done.
