    I didn't say if we have do that scan by loading these plugins. There
is other way - to create /usr[/local]/lib/mplayer/{ctl,vo,vf} subdirs and
put plugins of each type there. Plugins names will be name.so - it may be
enough but version and validity check (and getting all plugin info) will
be on loading on demand only. Is it ok?
