Yup, my main point was protobuf needs to be a function that creates
a protobuffer instance, not a class instance itself, since mtaylor
reported constructors w/ dlopen() are not reliable on all platforms
(I'm curious which). Of course most of this can by hidden by a macro
that is populated from plugin.ini variables.
