Well I'm stumped. The plugin exists and is installed in the normal
place. But it is not being loaded when called from #primFileValidMPEG:.
There are no errors (e.g. unresolved symbols etc) and no problems
compiling, we are just not finding the plugin at runtime.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I can't spot it.
