Interesting findings, thanks for the write-up.

To be honest, I can't imagine anyone is using gabble plugins apart from the
one(s) in tree and Ytstenut so I wouldn't mind just breaking API & ABI here.
Special casing Windows or removing assertions sounds rubbish to me.

So yeah, renaming create_sidecar to create_sidecar_async and adding a
create_sidecar_finish seems the best option to me. While we're at it we could
add versioning to the (beginning of the) GabblePluginInterface struct. I did
this for Salut already but nothing looks it yet. I guess if we looked at said
version number we wouldn't be breaking ABI for Salut, no?
