Hum probably both, I need to rework pkg-static so that it is not entierly s=
tatic
but static for all but libc so that it allows plugins, Haven't done that wo=
rk
yet.

What bothers me is that pkg-static should not even tried to load plugins so=
 it
should not return any failure, that is a bug, I'll try to see fix it.

Btw I'm happy to see someone is actually using the plugin interface, I have=
n't
spent time on it since 1.3 and happy to see that I haven't broken it :)

I would like to hear more feedback about the usage of plugins, how good/bad=
 it
is, how we could improve it etc, this is the first time I'm coding a plugin
interface I do not expect it so be good :)

Best regards,
Bapt
