IIRC, when I wrote the static linkage code, using this required you to either modify plugins.c or compile plugins.c with

Yes, you left a comment to this effect.
These work but could obviously get a bit tedious/ hard to maintain.
If you haven't already done so, it would be very, very cool to make use of the ELF / DLL initializer feature.
I was doing the tedious thing, and thinking maybe it could be done in the Makefile some day. But isn't the principal advantage of plugins that they let you use FFI-using library modules even on systems without dynamic loading? What would this buy you over the current setup?
