You can however find lots of examples of modules directly in
Gtk+: pixbuf loaders, input methods, theme engines.

You should use libtool (of course, if you know the target
system is Linux, there is also the direct way).

Assuming you already use libtool and have a subdirectory
with modules only, then

  AM_LDFLAGS = -avoid-version -module

  foodir = $(pkglibdir)/modules

  foo_LTLIBRARIES = somemodule.la

  somemodule_la_SOURCES = somemodule.c ...

is sufficient (otherwise you need to get these flags where
they belong).
