IMHO, this option is still weird :/


You're mixing in the same library functions that have some to do with
Grilo, with functions out of scope of Grilo (remember they are just
helper functions).

But what is still more weird, is that the resulting .so would be, on one
hand, dynamically linked to access the helper functions, and at the same
time, it is would be loaded dynamically in order to load the plugin.

And that is very weird, because it is supposed you can move your plugin
libraries from one place to another without needing to recompile your
program, just changing your envvar.
