Basic interface to a plug-in component: IPluginBase.
The host uses this interface to initialize and to terminate the plug-in component. The context that is passed to the initialize method contains any interface to the host that the plug-in will need to work. These interfaces can vary from category to category. A list of supported host context interfaces should be included in the documentation of a specific category.
The host passes a number of interfaces as context to initialize the plug-in class.
| context,passed | by the host, is mandatory and should implement IHostApplication |

This function is called before the plug-in is unloaded and can be used for cleanups.
You have to release all references to any host application interfaces.
