Be sure to follow the fprintf() with an immediate fflush(stderr) or you
will not get the expected output. Note that initializeModule() will be
the first thing called in the plugin, so you can reassure yourself that
the plugin is being loaded by putting an fprintf in that function.
I find it easier to debug these things with the plugin compiled external,
but it should work either way.
