That's a problem.  Also, I'd be a lot more comfortable keeping the current
behavior, i.e., that factory->plugin is never NULL, but plugin->module might
be.  

I think I'd be more comfortable making gst_plugin_register_static() available
in the API and using that.  In particular, it encourages libraries and binaries
to separate their factories into GstPlugins and GstPluginDescriptions that
properly describe their origin, which is good.  This may be more interesting if
we ever have a pipeline viewer/editor that can attach to a running program.
