HI Erik!
Theres no guarantee for an Ethereal plugin to be binary compatible with a different version than that is was compiled for.
As the changes might even be very small, you cannot even be sure that a plugin which *seems* to be starting fine will work correctly in any case.
So no, theres no way I can see.
