This was posted by Eric Rizzo a while back and several people (myself
included!) have expressed interest in the answer. Does anyone have one?

"I'm working on a custom view that has several viewAction extensions
defined in the plugin.xml. Those actions need to have their
enabled/disabled state dictated by something other than the selection
state (dictated by the state of a background process).
I need to be able to enable/disable a toolbar button before it is
actually clicked (when it is being created/init-ed). The extension point
mechanism for enablement/disablement does not help because these
particular actions are not enabled or disabled based on selection.
How do I hook into the creation or initialization of the actions so that
I can control their enabled state early in their lifetime?"

Perhaps someone who is on the platform dev mailing list should post this
question there and see if it garners any response...
