[Interest] Multiple plugin versions behavior with QPluginLoader

[BOUCARD Olivier]

I will answer myself.
I was not sure how OSes handle shared libraries.
So I've made a little test, as describe in my previous example.
And it turns out that apparently, under Linux, you can run an application multiple times with different plugin versions in each instance.
