I think what alex was pointing out is that gmodule will search for the
[BASENAME].la files automatically if needed.

Looking at the gmodule documentation now, I see its documented that
g_module_open("qof_backend") would search for:
qof_backend
qof_backend.G_MODULE_SUFFIX (.so for unix-like, .dll for win, .sl for
HP-UX)
qof_backend.la

and use whichever opens the module.  Would this not work on all
platforms?
