Makefile.am for a plugin / module

All dynamically opened piece of code (plugin, part, kdeinit module, applet, kioslave) can be called a "DSO" (Dynamic Shared Object) or more simply for our purposes a module.

All modules should be installed into the "kde_module" directory, which is usually KDEPREFIX/lib/kde3. Therefore the main difference with a shared library is that one should use

kde_module_LTLIBRARIES = something.la

For more details on the naming conventions and _LDFLAGS necessary for the various types of modules, please read kdelibs/NAMING.
