This is exactly what I am arguing about: this implicit rule about file
names ending with "lib". If the *lib.so files aren't plugins, why are
they inside the plugins directory?

If it was a more explicit name, like "*_auxfile.so", I wouldn't think it
was too bad (althought I would still prefer to putting these auxiliary
files on another directory, as they aren't plugins). But I think that
"*lib" can be a bit confusing.
