Research direction

The issue names no source files, tests, or build entry points. Start by locating the repository's sample plugin and build instructions, then determine whether the requested PAA format can be supported by the plugin interface; done means a working sample-based plugin or a documented reason it is not possible.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I have a decent grip on C, though I've never worked with Makefiles. If I can figure out how to build a sample plugin, I should be able to work from there.

The plugin in question I want to create is one that lets xviewer open .paa files, if that simply isn't possible as a plugin it would be appreciated to know.
