There are other systems that have this same problem (e.g. linux kernel
modules). They use a macro to expose a static module_register function
when the module is not built-in. In the built-in case, we could mangle
the function names so that they are unique, and use the HAVE_PLUGIN_X
#defines to call each module_register in turn during startup.
Thoughts?

My embedded system has no libraries at the moment.
