Since the plugins require that mythtv be installed first, you can 
guarantee the location of the share files.  Mythtv could install a 
customsettings.pro file in $PREFIX/share/mythtv during the "make 
install". Then the plugins could use that to find out the original 
MythTV compilation flags, and cut down on redundant or incompatible 
configurations.
