I was just wondering today whether we should
introduce a naming structure for csound plugin
modules. Now that we have some extra dynamic libs
as the result of frontends, interfaces, etc.,
I keep getting ugly warning messages about libx is
not a csound library or something of the kind, because
my OPCODEDIR, for convenience is the csound5 top-level
directory.

We could introduce, for automatic loading of plugins
only, something like

module.c:

libmodule_plugin.dylib (OSX)
libmodule_plugin.so (Linux)
module_plugin.dll (Windows)

or go for a unified extension for all
platforms, like:

module.csplug

What do you think? We can always leave it
open for any names for manual loading.

Or just install Csound correctly, which is the expected way of
using it for non-development work. In addition, you do need to have
the plugins in a separate directory if having both single and
double precision libraries on the same machine is a requirement.
