Yes.  This is covered in general terms by the comments in my earlier 
email today, but for the specific problem you describe, all you need to 
do is:

- export `xchat-register-plugin' from your main infrastructure module, 
which let's say is (xchat main)

- document that plugin authors need to write `(use-modules (xchat 
main))' at the start of their plugin code.

Hope this makes sense ...
