I think it's a good idea to use namespaces for plugins.

We used this ld feature for exporting init_* only 
('-export-symbols-regex 'init_.*'"' was part of KDE_PLUGIN), but IIRC it turned
out that it only works for linux (which makes it something we can't rely on,
as then you just 'move' the crashes to other platforms without eliminating
their cause ;-)
