I don't use a Mac, but my understanding is that .dylib is for shared 
libraries, while plugins are .so (or .bundle but nobody does that). And 
shared libraries can be used as plugins but *not* the other way around. 
.so seems more natural for ipelets, since I doubt you want to be able to 
link against them.
