Not sure I understand.  Yes, in theory you could make this a plug-in
architecture, but it would only work in WebKitGTK-based browsers.  Chrome
and Firefox are not WebKitGTK-based, so it's very unlikely they would ever
be able to support such a thing.

Also, if you want to run C code for your web apps, I'd recommend you look
into ActiveX.  The severe security issues in ActiveX should be enough to
scare you away from that idea!
