For plugins it's different than for libraires, they are usually built
as "modules" instead of "libraries" and they do use the .so extension
in Linux (without versionning compared to libraries). Libtool takes
care of everything with the -module flags:
(http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/manual/html_node/Building-modules.html)

Your recipe must list the plugin/module using the full path and you
can take advtange of the "mext" extension that will choose the correct
extension dependending on your target operating system. As an example
you can take a look at the gstreamer recipes:
files_plugins_core = ['lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstcoreelements%(mext)s']

On linux this will resolve to lib/gstreamer-1.0/libgstcoreelements.so.
