I have not tried it yet, just read the patch and it looks really good!

Some naming things to discuss:

EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCY
is not readyy dependencies. What about "EXTERNAL_FEATURE"

GST_PLUGIN_EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCY_FLAG_PATHS_ARE_DEFAULT_ONLY
-> GST_PLUGIN_EXTERNAL_DEPENDENCY_FLAG_PATHS_AS_FALLBACK (not that good
either)?

Also the G_STMT_START changes for the registry can be applied independently.
Last question, do you have a patch for e.g. libvisual plugin to test it?

Regarding the suffix, prefix. I think the extra code for it does not really
hurt that much, but in reallity I guess most plugins will use something like
this
ENVVAR="MY_PLUGIN_PATH"
PATH="LIBDIR/plugins"
NAMES="*.so"
