DPP is here mostly for debugging, to override what dia has derived from the
$prefix.

Well, the issue is that I rushed a little too fast in turning libdia.a into
libdia.so, and forgot to teach the plugin loader about how libdia.so is not
a plugin at all. OTOH, the plugin loaded never bothered to complain to me,
so I never saw this problem beforehand :-)
