I got them into my own set of plugins, and they work nicely on my lux64 
system. I had to do a few things because I work in the trunk of the svn 
tree:


* The old C-style initialization doesn't work anymore. The first line 
when defining is now:

mDefODPluginInfo(plugin_name)
{
     mDefineStaticLocalObject( PluginInfo, retpi,(
           "name", "crby", "ver", "desc" ) );
     return &retpi;
}


* I had to add () to every binid.inl and crl. In 5.0 BinID's derive from 
Pos::IdxPair which is a std::pair<int,int>, with 'aliases' for first and 
second (inl(), lineNr(), row() and crl(), traceNr(), col().

* We no longer include <string.h>, so I replaced 'strcmp' with '!='.

Ranojay built the plugins on Windows and they also do a fine job there.


That brings us to making the plugin available for the non-developing 
users (that's 99.9% of them). It seems Kristofer is going to post 
something about that.
