Come on people, this is one of the easiest problems for GMPI. Either you
make wrapper plugins a special case, with a special way to list all the
plugins that it provides, or you just make it possible for all
dlls/libraries to provide an arbitrary number of plugins. Either way works,
it's simply a matter of making a decision. I prefer the second way (i.e.
don't assume things about a class of plugins when it's not necessary).
