Hello Julien,

We may move libFWOSPlugin.so into /usr/lib/oce-0.10.  DRAWEXE will
work just fine (because of its rpath settings), but Plugin::Load would
have to be taught to look into this directory if we want to not break
other applications.
Another idea is to edit /usr/share/oce-0.10/src/StdResource/Plugin and replace
  a148e300-5740-11d1-a904-080036aaa103.Location: FWOSPlugin
by
  a148e300-5740-11d1-a904-080036aaa103.Location: FWOSPlugin-3
A symlink libFWOSPlugin-3.so --> libFWOSPlugin.so.3 will then do the
trick.  I prefer this solution, no change is required in source files.
