The Pluging Writer's Guide misses a section on naming.
When someone needs to write a new plugin from scratch, it is ok to use the
gst-template. But then the plugin name is not possibile to changed from
"plugin".

The file Makefile.am in ../gst-template/src says:

# change libgstplugin.la to something more suitable
plugin_LTLIBRARIES = libgstplugin.la

if you change to
plugin_LTLIBRARIES = libgstmyplugin.la

make does not work any more, even after autogen/configure.

So you are stuck with 
libgstplugin.la

and could not change the binary library name.
