Oops, I was not aware of the problem.
I suggest renaming the install directory $prefix/plugins/input
to $prefix/plugins/inputmethods. I had kept the name
$prefix/plugins/input for backward compatibility, but it's less
beneficial for us than renaming.
Although 'make install' installs the plugins into
$prefix/plugins/input, We should consider following problems.
- Non-official install script may assume
<destdir>/plugins/inputmethods because
<srcdir>/plugins/inputmethods exists.
- difference of the names between source and install directory
may confuse developers and users
