I'm going to commit this later on today, so don't worry it won't get
lost.

One thing: in one of the previous threads it was said that to avoid
using a different library for the output it would have required to
initialise the plugin first to get the class loaded and then to get the
output working.

Considering that for Mac OS X, GCC 4 is basically a requirement, you
should be fine by using the constructor attribute so that the plugin,
as soon as it's dlopened() runs a function to initialise what needs to
be initialised.

To double-check the support for that, there's a
CC_ATTRIBUTE_CONSTRUCTOR autoconf macro that can be used too.
