Libraries are fine.  But libraries are not plugins.

It's the difference between qemu writing directly to libspice verses 
having a libspice-vdi that implements the VDI plugin interface and then 
a mechanism in qemu to load arbitrary libraries that implement the VDI 
interface.

If I understand correctly, VDI is a plugin interface.
