Because these libraries are only ever loaded with dlopen, they're not in the 
linker search path, they're plugins.

It turns out strigi 0.5.7 already fixes this issue (by making the plugins 
unversioned just as I'm doing), however I'm going to kick off a patched 0.5.5 
build with only this fix to rush into f8-final.
