Replying on the list .. might be of some interest:

The standard way if you want to expose something from Radiant's core is to extend an existing API with the function calls, or to add a new API etc. We have several places where you can put stuff:

- qerplugin.h and _QERFuncTable
This is the "legacy" function table. If you want to expose a function that is implemented by the core, it is the quick and dirty way.

- existing include/i*.h APIs
The big advantage of these against _QERFuncTable is that they work on an "on request" basis. Those APIs are also C++ based, instead of exposing function tables you can also expose objects (behind interfaces / i.e. pure virtual class declaration)
if what you want to expose is extending some APIs already exposed (such as texture code, map entities manipulation etc.), then you should add stuff there

- add your own include/i*.h
in some cases, if you want to expose a new category of things, it might be good creating your own include/i*.h files
