My understanding of the FHS (and the GNU system layout, if that's
still relevant) is that all shared objects, including dlopen'd
ones, should live under /usr/lib.  Just looking at my own /usr/lib
here would seem to indicate that /usr/lib/{package_name}/ is a popular
choice, so maybe a solution would be to replace "bin" with "lib/kst"?
Or even "lib/kst/plugins"?
