Yeah, I was just pointing out a potential problem of associating this
metadata directly with the plugin binary on multiuser systems. Not an easy
problem to solve without adding extra layers of complexity (each user has
a GMPI folder with partial data for each plugin they use, and it may then
in some cases point to a system-owned GMPI object elsewhere on the
system?? Seems complex, but may be deemed necessary)
