Ok, here's the full-updated-plugin-patch (~1 hour snapshot). It uses g_module* for loading libxslt. I cannot test it on Win32, so I'll be pleased that anyone try it before the next release so I don't get flames :)

There are some things the patch changes at a more global level:
	add a DIA_PLUGIN_PATH envvar.
	check for libxslt upon configure: What to do I the lib is not found ? (I'm no auto* guru)

Congratulations for the nice work, I succeeded getting a friend to use Dia before 1.0!
