Because both libgabble-plugins.la and libgabble-convenience.la link Wocky, if
we leave libgabble-plugins shared, we'll have to make Wocky shared too, by
using one of these techniques.

For "put it in a private directory" we could use
${libdir}/telepathy/gabble-private or something (the executable will end up
with an RPATH). We can't re-use ${libdir}/telepathy/gabble-0 (the plugins
directory) because the name of libgabble-plugins.so itself matches the naming
convention for plugins.
