AFAIK, you can annotate findlib's META files with custom
tags.  Ocsigen expects dynamically loaded plugins to have
a "plugin" tag, like this:

archive(native) = "foobar.cmxa"
archive(plugin,native) = "foobar.cmxs"

Ocsigen's module loader can thus leverage all of Findlib's
existing facilities (such as dependency handling) also for
dynamically loading plugins.

(The Ocsigen guys can correct/expand on this better than
anyone, of course).

Cheers,
Dario
