I think only proj have to be included for option1, but option 2
depends on the data formats you actually use.

It would be healthy to compile it yourself and include only the
options you actually use. Then you'll have to deploy only the required
dll-s along with the plugin. This may provide you a similar .NET FW
2.0 compatible package for Win32 just like for Win64.
Recall that FWTools provides only .NET FW 1.1 compatible assemblies at
the moment.
