Yes. At least parts of it must be, but it's probably easier to make all of it
thread safe then to figure out what parts don't need to be. The exact parts
will probably also change in future releases, I guess.

The plugin guards all Verse calls (or Ample calls really) and the internal
data structures with critical sections. I should take a look at all these
again some time and see if some of them should be split for performance
reasons also.
