I think we should say that:

   a) a GMPI platform must be able to load and unload dll's with
      static objects.

   b) we recommend that plugins do not declare static objects but
      create their equivalents from within plugin instantiation
      functions.

      SomeObject* foo_is_a_singleton = 0;

      void
      the_foobar_plugin_instantiator () {
           if (!foo_is_a_singleton) {
               foo_is_a_singleton = new SomeObject();
           }
           ... the rest ...
      }
