<p class="MsoNormal">I have this idea of how providers might add calls in the rare event its needed, but would like to run it by the list for comments.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Let’s say provider xyzzy supportsa new call AV-related call, “fi_av_xyzzy_add_flux()”. The would be a new header “fi_xyzzy.h” and “xyzzy_av.c” as shown below.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Does this seem sane? I think the “version” passed to fi_getinfo can be used to deal with fi_ops_av growing wrt. Backwards compatability.<o:p></o:p></p>
