The algorithm for finding plug-ins at runtime is similar for Python and C 
plug-ins. See:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/lib/plug-ins.c?id=eefc0d0b2ff10368def6f6cb463ab3a4381bbbc5#n442

Plug-in related XML files (like sheets and shapes) are found likewise. If 
you want something special you have to code it yourself, best based on 
existing API, see: https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/lib/dia_dirs.h
