Re: console plugins

It would be consistent with other modules like nss and libstore to use
/lib/console_DRIVER.so.VERSION.  Definitely use something.so.VERSION
instead of a VERSION directory, anyway.  The benefit of not using a subdir
at all (instead just a prefixed name) is that you don't need -rpath and an
unadorned name in dlopen still works.  OTOH, since this is just for one
program and not a library, a better match is perl or X server modules.
In those cases, it's some separate directory and the program does its own
path searching or whatnot to produce an absolute file name for dlopen.
