Actually, there is nothing wrong the way it works currently:
- the location where the plugin files are installed
- the fact that it is compiled as an executable

Starting xfce panel 4.9, the location where the plugin is currently installed
has been marked as deprecated but is still supported. What the newer version
now suggests is to install the plugin under a new path for plugins compiled as
a module.

NB: plugins compiled as executables have to be installed under libexec
(packagers can tweak that under lib/package-name/)

The patch is hereby provided for these changes.
