That sounds awesome !

Passing a valid keyfile pointer when firing the signals would be a huge 
help, and a nice way of doing this.

Regarding configure signal, the plugin would not need to persist changes 
and it only need it to maintain internal states. When the project is 
closed it could save these in the keyfile, if needed.

Hmm, I was juster wondering if the plugin interface could handle things 
like a thin debug wrapper.
