If you squint your eyes just right, it looks like you could re-write the 
PLUGIN_SET_INFO() in a way to be source-compatible (but obviously not 
binary-compatible) with the old way, since nobody used plugin_set_info() 
directly, and the hook functions you moved/proposed only add an argument 
(which Geany could read, or not, based on the ABI version).

Just a passing thought.
