C++ can't be installed via Plugin Installer. Users should download
plugin library (.dll or .so) and put it in right place manually.

You can use any library for raster processing. GDAL is one of the
possible solutions. If you decide to use GDAL, don't worry, QGIS
itself relies on this library, so users will have it on their PC
