To write a Bacula plugin, you create a dynamic shared object program (or dll on
Win32) with a particular name and two exported entry points, place it in the
Plugins Directory, which is defined in the bacula-fd.conf file in
the Client resource, and when the FD starts, it will load all the plugins
that end with -fd.so (or -fd.dll on Win32) found in that directory.
