Correct, which means that the right test would probably be a check
whether GLib supports dynamic loading - i.e., use AC_TRY_RUN to build a
small program, linked with glib, that calls "g_module_supported()",
exits with an exit status of 0 if "g_module_supported()" returns TRUE
and 1 if it returns FALSE, and have the result of that program govern
whether we support plugins or not.
