We need to make testing really easy. So commit (via sending a patch) the
testing scores into the plugin dir. Also make sure that it works well
with the clam-test-data SDIF DB, else send a new one to commit.

Sounds good.

Yes, you need the "liblo" library

blogger.com (aka blogspot - bought by google) and wordpress.com are
popular services for personal blogs


About the threads question: I'd load all the samples during
configuration phase (in ConcreteConfigure). Maybe in the future we could
allow for on-the-fly sample loading, but definitely not for a first
version.
So I don't see threads necessary here. Or maybe I am missing something?
Please comment if you have a different idea on this.
