Well if we do, they are (I think) broken for plug-in filters anyway,
yes?

Given the plug-in filters effectively mean we /already/ have dynamic
filter ID's, it sounds like we already have a dynamic system.

How are you assigning filter IDs in the plug-in filter system, Gerry?
I'll need that to change (I can provide a Filter::GetUniqueFilterID()
call or something, or they can just to CamResource::GetResourceID on
the filter name).
