That is fine.

I disagree to this conclusion. Each tool accepts also variations in the
parameter order on the command line.

I imagine that there might be fine-tuning possible within the category "link
options". The challenge remains from an error message like "undefined reference
to `PPlugin_PVideoInputDevice_Application_link()'".
