I've done some IE plugin coding (scream now). Netscape-style plugin support was 
dropped in IE5. IE plugins are essentially COM servers (I wrote mine using ATL) 
and such. It's a fairly ugly piece of code, but if your interested in building 
the plugin, you can use libgopher to make it easier to do, but you still need 
to be able to manipulate the IE DOM, which is evil in ways that are difficult 
to imagine.

I 'read somewhere' that IE will accept Netscape-style plugins. However, that
was in something for IE4 and I have no idea if it is still true for IE7/8.
