Ok, guess i'll clear a few things :)
I'll remove the whole library concept, so the compilation weirdness
(under Win32 at least) that is build server - build library - build
plugin can be fixed ^_-
I may keep some "safe" library functions linked to plugin, though -
maybe things like query_name are safe to use directly, i'll check.

It wouldn't fix right away. But it would force to actually use hooks
for all plugin functions instead of calling directly library functions
(like check_trigger or free_string, the latest probably totally broken
under Win32...).
