I suppose it's not a problem if the alternative is no plugin support at
all.  It just seems a little ugly for the plugin author to have to
distribute 'n' trivially different but substantially identical copies of
their plugin binary for Windows users where a single file suffices for
users of ELF systems.  (And I'm sure that the required build-system
magic to cope with that will not be particularly pretty.)
