Plugin system

How would you write a plugin system for an image-processing application where one plugin is "dependant" on another plugin? For example I have an histogram plugin who has to call the grayscale plugin before showing the histogram. I could hard-code the grayscale function but it's ugly and I would have to do the same for a lot of other plugins.

I'm writing this in Qt (Trolltech) and C++, and I use the QLibrary object (not that it really matters...)

For the more rigorous:

A is empty, B is an initial list of plugins.

while B is not empty
  Pop X off B.
  If X exists in A, go to next iteration.
  Load X.
  Append X to A.
  Push X.dependencies to B.
