The problem is the wscript which builds all source files of geanylua
into one geanylua.so. Sorry for this, it's my bad. When adding geanylua
to the Waf build system I just didn't remember it builds an extra
library.
I'll fix this tomorrow.

But I'm wondering if the default path of this support library is a good
choice:
/usr/local/share/geany/plugins/geanylua/libgeanylua.so

IMO this violates the FHS, binary files (.so) should not go into data
dir ($prefix/share). Instead, I think something like
$prefix/lib/geany/geanylua/libgeany.so would fit better or directly in
Geany's libdir, $prefix/lib/geany/ which would make
installation/uninstallation easier as not another directory has to been
added/removed.

What do you think?

Regards,
Enrico
