I'm not entirely sure yet, I need to do some testing that actually 
exposes these bits.

The problem is that some ideosynchracies of the darwin linker (and, 
supposedly, ambiguities in the C++ spec) mean that doing this kind of 
thing can actually make it so that static initializers are not called 
from the shared-libraries when called indirectly through those "dummy" 
modules (which have no code themselves).

I've been pretty busy and so haven't had the opportunity to figure out 
a) whether there are any static initializers in the things I've reworked 
into lib/module pairs, and b) how to make a good test case to be sure 
it's OK.  :)

Hopefully this weekend I'll have the chance to dig into it a bit more.

Either way, a number of rather important plugins from the original 
subject of this thread are broken in the osx builds so I won't be 
releasing a new koffice anytime soon, probably.  I've got a lot of yucky 
debugging to do.  :P
