Drizzle aloha "aloha"

Bug Description

A plugin is loaded by supplying the library name with the --plugin_load option but it will fail to do so when a full path to the library object is provided. Furthermore, a user cannot tell if a failure had occurred since drizzle will still start without reporting the failure.

I like that it is robust enough to start without reporting the failure, but it should probably warn you fairly loudly that the plugin did not load.

Assigning to Monty. Yeah, this is definitely worthy of attention. Basically, the plugin_load and whole compilation process for plugins needs to be documented at least...there's just not much information (or at least accurate information) on the wiki to make informed decisions.

plugin_load, --with-plugins, are all no longer valid now due to the new plugin compilation process and Python plugin script.
