The relevant data I have on hand are:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=654013
https://git.gnome.org/browse/jhbuild/commit/?id=965c8d5ceda9d1c5d6021ef2c534e0a7f68ca976
I think the executive summary is that libltdl knows how to load .so
files directly (at least currently), so there's no reason to have even
${libdir}/modulename/plugins/foo.la.
