The plugin init code is stored in the .inc files. These are included
directly into datedit.c, which executes them as part of the
datedit_init() routine.

No need, just call register_datafile_object() from inside your plugin
.inc file. If the problem is that you are trying to register functions
which aren't prototyped there, just put a prototype for them into the
.inc file as well.
