try unloading the library, replacing the *.so (*.extesnion) file with
another file - the very same class. Only difference is that the basic
function returns a different value, or prints different message on
the screen. Then loading that library again and calling the function,
without restarting the test program.

I tried it just once with my plugin library and it didn't work. The
cached plugin file was used instead. But I didn't spend any time to
fix that. Only checked how it behaves. It may be important that the
plugin file has the same filename, but different contents.

I belive that above test should be a part of your testing suite - if
you plan to support unloading plugins and reloading them later on
runtime.
