While we're at --help and plugins:
There is no way how a plugin can detect whether it was loaded regularly 
or just for displaying --help or --version. In the latter cases, 
ProcessArgs() will be called with empty parameters and cannot fail 
because it is missing a parameter. If it does fail, VDR stops loading 
plugins and shows --help and --version only for plugins loaded before 
the failed one.

(do we need to call ProcessArgs() at all for --help/--version?)

Cheers,
